POSSIBLE SPOILER
ALERT:
How is the time elapsed established after Ahmeti's tomb is opened and Professor Arnold disappearssince the
process of embalming could take upward of seventy days in pharaonic Egypt.
While part of this story may have occurred in Luxor, Egypt, the opening of the tomb was most likely
in the Valley of the Kings.
What is “mapuchari” that was put into Carol Arnold’s cigarettes? It sounds like marijuana.
Was this a lost film? Is that why the titles look so different
from other Oland/Chan movies?
Probably.
Rush’s
notes included an adaptation from AMERICAN INSTITUTE CATALOG ‘Within Our Gates:
Ethnicity in American Feature Films, 19111-1960’ that the surviving prints may have been approximately seven
minutes cut from the original 72 minutes running time. [Films of Charlie Chan: Charlie Chan in Egypt. . . . Charlie Chan Family Website.]
Where was Charlie flying from?
Alexandria
seems likely since it’s on the coast.
Why was there no saddle on the donkey for Charlie?
Is "smarmy" the best word to describe Barry Arnold?
[Arnold
appeared in another mystery, with Ginger Rogers in The Thirteenth Guest in 1932.
He was born in September 10, 1907, and died of cirrhosis of the liver on December 15, 1959.]
What is Snowshoes smoking in his pipe and what kind of pipe is it?
If the tomb was undergoing study, why were there cobwebs in there, other than for possible decoration?
How many men carried around straight razors (for shaving themselves OR anyone else, for that matter!)
that require a strop to sharpen?
Doesn’t anyone notice that Charlie has taken the bullet removed from Prof. Arnold’s body
after the autopsy? Or at least notice that the bullet was gone?
Why did Charlie swoon after using Barry’s violin?
Probable
residual gas in the body of the violin.
What was it that Charlie picked up off the floor in Barry’s room?
If it was part of the glass ampoule that held the gas, how did it get out of the violin and onto the
floor and what color is it?
For that matter, how and when and by whom was it put INTO the violin?
How many people would have recognized Rita Haywortb by her original name of "Cansino" and appearance
in this movie?
