Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

bensonmum2 Mr. Moto is in a race with a group of ruthless treasure hunters to find the seven ancient scrolls that show the location of Genghis Khan's grave and the riches contained therein.Thank You, Mr. Moto is a fast paced, fun entry in the Moto series. The story is interesting throughout, with Moto pulling an excellent trick on the baddies at the very end - some nice writing. Sets, lighting, and cinematography all look great. It's amazing that Norman Foster's Moto films are among his very early directing credits. He does an excellent job for someone so new to the profession. With a couple of exceptions, the acting is quite good. Peter Lorre is as solid as always. The man always gave top notch performances. Other actors with noting in Thank You, Mr. Moto, include: the always enjoyable Sig Ruman in a much to small a role, Sidney Blackmer, and Philip Ahn. However, there were a couple I didn't find as impressive. Jayne Regan just seemed all wrong for the part of the heroine - too wishy-washy. And in the part of Regan's beau, Thomas Beck is too bland.Overall, a wonderfully entertaining film. I'm rating it a strong 7/10 (and wondering why I didn't go ahead and give it an 8/10).

Paularoc I thoroughly enjoy B movies series and the Mr. Moto series is among my favorites. This entry involves a treasure map which can be completed when seven ancient scrolls are brought together; this map leads to the tomb and treasure of Genghis Khan. Mr. Moto is a very physical detective and dispatches his adversaries quickly and without compunction. The story is one not only of adventure but honor, courage and loyalty to old friends. The cast is a strong one with Sidney Blackmer as the villain, John Carradine as the oily and dishonest antiques dealer, Pereira (since Pereira is a common Portuguese name and the character calls the men señor, it's likely that the character is Portuguese), Philip Ahn as Moto's good friend Prince Chang and Pauline Frederick as Madame Chang (given her earlier illustrious career in movies and on the stage, it's a bit sad that her last movie was in a B film). As usual, Thomas Beck plays an affable young man. However, he does have quite the screen presence and it's a surprise he didn't have more of a movie career. Richard Loo has an uncredited role as a police officer (although Chinese, Loo very often played Japanese officers and villains in WW II movies) Peter Lorre does a great job as Moto and that with the great production values and solid cast, makes this a movie a winner.

JimB-4 This is a fairly typical Mr. Moto film from the superb B-unit at Twentieth Century Fox, but I was quite surprised by certain elements of depth in the film. There are moments of brutality that exceed what was standard in films, especially B-films, of the time. But more interesting was the emotional factor. One scene, the last scene between Peter Lorre's Moto and Philip Ahn's Prince Chung, is really amazing for its humanity and poignant quality, something not readily found in 67-minute programmers of the period. The Moto films, like the Charlie Chans Fox made, are all splendidly made little pictures. This one is better than most.

Spondonman This was the 2nd of the 8 Fox Moto's, and like its predecessor Think Fast, was a fast paced action/detective film with high production values and a fine cast of goodies and baddies.It starts out in the Gobi Desert with Moto in possession of something valuable, stabbing an attacker to death and burying him without a pause – all becomes clear an hour later. Back in civilised China he and a bunch of gangsters are after 7 linen scrolls which indicate the whereabouts of Genghis Khan's fortune – Moto has one, nouveau poor Prince Chung and his rigid mother have the others … for the time being. When Moto finally gets to see them his monotone evaluation of their beauty: "The harmony of line and colour – this is truly a voiceless poem" – always makes me think of John Wayne's immortal line in The Greatest Story Ever Told. Non-Oriental Austrian Peter Lorre again plays the importer and detective with class, vim and believably if you understand you're using up your time watching a work of fantasy. Thomas Beck's in here playing handsome devil to glamorous Jayne Regan this time; both had short movie careers. And from the collection of baddies nasty Sidney Blackmer especially stood out, but even he didn't get to kill as many as Moto did! There's a chase sequence near the end which is brought to a rather dramatic conclusion – attention recommended!Great stuff as usual for the enlightened, nothing here for the serious. You watch this, you savvy?
