Incredibly popular through the 1920s and 1940s, Charlie Chan films had become a favorite series among many mystery fans by 1939, with twenty-two Hollywood films already under the character's belt prior to City in Darkness. This exciting installment, in which Charlie attempts to solve a murder aboard a Hawaiian freighter, is especially notable as it marked the first appearance of Sidney Toler in the lead role, following the unexpected death of former Chan star Warner Oland.
