Dear Esteemed Viewer,  

Charlie Chan humbly invites you to preview a short clip from 20th Century Fox's bonus featurette Welcome to Reno: America's Divorce Resort with on-camera interviews with Bill McGee, author of The Divorce Seekers.

The first four of Sidney Toler's classic Charlie Chan escapades make their DVD debut February 12, 2008 in The Charlie Chan Collection, Volume 4, including the 1939 film, Charlie Chan in Reno, set at a swank Reno hotel for divorce seekers. 4-DVD box set available from Amazon.com 

Bonus extras for Charlie Chan in Reno, both with Bill McGee, are Welcome to Reno: America’s Divorce Resort, a featurette recapturing Reno’s glamorous era, and Reno Memories, about McGee’s years in the 1940s as the dude wrangler on Nevada’s renowned Flying M E dude ranch catering to wealthy divorce seekers. Both featurettes use photos from The Divorce Seekers – A Photo Memoir of a Nevada Dude Wrangler. 

“Charlie Chan in Reno paints a picture of the Reno I knew,” says McGee. “The movie is set at a hotel, but the Mary Whitman character arriving in Reno for a divorce could have been any number of guests at the Flying M E. The dialogue for the Cab Driver is pretty authentic, too.”
