The Golden Eye (1948): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 1948, The Golden Eye is a thriller, crimen and misterio film directed by William Beaudine, running about 69 minutes. “Death lurks at every step...as your oriental super-sleuth stalks a desperate killer -- below the surface of the earth!” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. A gold mine in Arizona, that was formerly losing a lot of money, suddenly turns into a veritable money-making machine. However, the owner, instead of being happy about his now profitable business, insists to Charlie that something is fishy and that someone is out to murder him. Charlie and his "crew" travel to the mine, pretending to be tourists staying at a nearby dude ranch so as not to arouse suspicion, and discover that the owner may well be right--it looks like the mine is being used as a cover for criminal activities, and that someone is indeed out to murder him.

Who’s in it. The Golden Eye stars Roland Winters as Charlie Chan, Wanda McKay as Evelyn Manning, Mantan Moreland as Birmingham Brown and Victor Sen Yung as Tommy Chan (as Victor Sen Young), among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.4/10, The Golden Eye has proved divisive with audiences.
