Mr. Moto's Last Warning: Review

starstarstarstar
The setting for this Moto adventure is Port Said, where a gang of criminals, headed by Fabian (Cortez) and Norvel (Sanders) and sponsored by an unnamed country, is attempting to instigate a war between England and France. Their plan of attack is to sink the French fleet as it enters the Suez canal and blame the British. Danforth (Carradine), a British agent, infiltrates the gang, only to be discovered and killed. Enter mysterious Japanese sleuth Mr. Moto (Lorre), who poses as the Japanese shopkeeper of a store located across from the villains' hangout. He manages to thwart the gang's efforts just in the nick of time. This late entry in the Moto series (the sixth of eight films starring Peter Lorre), overcomes a weak script with an excellent cast that rises above the mundane material. The popular Moto series would not last much longer, however, for with the onset of WW II, anti-Japanese sentiment would begin to mount and make it impossible for American moviegoers to thrill to the exploits of a Japanese super-sleuth. leave a comment
