June 26 movie: Think Fast, Mr. Moto. TCM's special month on Asians in Hollywood is over. I had another 4 or 5 movies saved on the DVR, but with work right now I didn't have time to watch them before the cable company replaced it. I'm most bummed out about losing a documentary about Anna Mae Wong a war movie about Jimmy Stewart in China.
Anyway this is the first of Peter Lorre's Mr. Moto movie, and after seeing Think Fast, Mr. Moto on TCM, I had to get this one from Netflix. Being the first in the series, Mr. Moto is played much more ambiguously -- it's not clear whether he's a villain or hero until the very end.
