The things one finds on one's DVDR!

Back in December I recorded Boston Blackie's Chinese Venture (1949), the final entry in the Boston Blackie series, one of a bunch of 60 minute B-films made by Columbia Pictures to fill out a multi-feature movie bill. Last night, I finally got around to watching it.

Here are a few screen captures of Maylia (aka Grace Fong nee Grace Chin) from Boston Blackie's Chinese Venture. Maylia plays Mei Ling, niece of Charlie Wu, a laundry man found dead at the start of the film. In real life, Maylia/Grace Fong was married to Benson Fong (you might know him as Charlie Chan's #3 son, Tommy Chan) who also had a supporting role in this film.
