About Dead Men Tell
When the elderly woman sponsoring a treasure hunt is murdered on board her docked ship, Charlie Chan must deal with a treasure map in four pieces, the ghost of a hanged pirate, a talking parrot, a recalcitrant sea captain and several suspicious passengers - and a second murder.
Directed by Harry Lachman, Dead Men Tell leans on a strong ensemble — Sidney Toler, Victor Sen Yung, Robert Weldon — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about mystery titles of 1941.
