Mr. Moto Film Collection.......2007-08-06

Absolutely a must if you are a Moto fan! The best reproductions ever! I have copies from several sources of the Mr. Moto films. These are highly superior to all my other copies. Don't miss this collection! I give it my highest recommendation.

Mr. Moto Rides Again.......2007-07-27

If you like the genre, you will like this set. Although each movie is very similar to every other, the restoration is very well done. And old film buffs will enjoy them.

Murder Mystery and Suspense.......2007-07-12

I have enjoyed the Mr. Moto series for as long as I can remember, after seeing it on TV when I was eight or nine years old. The company did a great job of restoration on both sets and I thought Peter Lorre did a fine job of playing the part of Mr. Motto, it is true the plots were pretty easy to figure out but that does not detract from the films and they were fun to watch, the scenes were mr Motto gets into a fight with the bad guys is interesting and in a couple of them you have to ask your self is that a stunt man or a dummy dressed up like the bad guy being thrown around.
If you like a mystery, comedy, and suspense film and you enjoy the other films of this type like Charlie Chan, Boston Blackie, Mr Wong, The lone Wolf , Nancy Drew (original four movies), The Falcon, The Saint, The Thin Man, and Bulldog Drummond, you will enjoys The Mr. Motto Series as well

GOOD STUFF.......2007-07-09

IF YOU'RE BUYING THE MISTER MOTO FILMS, IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE IN FOR. THEREFORE THE ONLY PERTINENT QUESTIONS ARE HOW THEY LOOK, SOUND, ETC. THEY ARE VISUALLY VERY CLEAR AND THE SOUND IS QUIET. IF YOU LIKE CLASSIC BLACK & WHITE DETECTIVE MYSTERYS, YOU WILL LIKE THESE. THEY SEEM TO BE COMPLETE AS OPPOSED TO HAVING BEEN CUT FOR TV. I'VE ONLY WATCHED 3 SO FAR, BUT SO FAR THEY PLAY FINE AND ARE QUITE ENTERTAINING.

Peter Lorre - a great actor.......2007-07-05

The role of Mr. Moto is such an intriuging character and Peter Lorre plays him perfectly. Mr. Moto's Last Warning has just the right amount of suspense and chracter development. Very nice clean entertainment.

Tepid entry in the collection. Lorre's Moto a bit of a bore.

Thanking you very much.......2005-04-04

MR. MOTO'S LAST WARNING (1939) is an interesting and entertaining final entry in the Moto series that starred Austrian- born actor Peter Lorre as the Japanese super sleuth. LAST WARNING takes place in Port Said, Egypt. A scrum of scoundrels are scheming to surreptitiously blow up Allied battle ships and foment distrust between France and England.
Chief scoundrel being Ricardo Cortez, here playing a foreign agent masquerading as a ventriloquist - Fabian the Great & Alf is the name of his act. Rounding out the cast is a number of skilled Fox contracts players - John Carradine, Virginia Fields, and George Sanders being among the more recognizable names.
This Alpha discount dvd of a public domain movie is pretty chopped up. The black and white images are murky, there are a number of scratches on the print, and for some odd reason the opening title sequence is missing. It's a chore to watch a film that's this physically beat up.
To the best of my knowledge, LAST WARNING is the only Mr. Moto title in the public domain, so this is the only chance most of us will have to catch the Moto fever. Even though Lorre's Moto is an intelligent character, Moto's usually undercover, disguised behind thick glasses and a sing-song, Good evening, preeze, persona. I doubt the title-holder of the other five movies featuring such a politically incorrect character will be releasing them anytime soon.
Too bad. This one was fun and had a lot going for it, even going so far as to include a couple of underwater scenes with Moto fighting a helmeted diver in the murky depths under a pier. A fun movie.

Where are the other Moto films?.......2005-01-06

This is a good entry in the Mr. Moto canon, which comprises 8 films made between 1937-39. It is not my favorite, however--Mr. Moto Takes a Vacation, with excellent performances by Lionel Atwill and Joseph Schildkraut, is the best of those I've seen. However, they have been very hard to find, and I've only seen about half of them. Lorre is wonderful as the mysterious Mr. Moto, and the films are great fun and skilfully made, with a host of terrific character actors--in addition to Atwill and Schildkraut, Leon Ames, Jean Hersholt, Keye Luke, John Carradine, George Sanders, Virginia Field, Ricardo Cortez, Maxie Rosenbloom, and many others all turn in outstanding period performances. It is a real shame that more are not being made available--I know that art houses sometimes stage special showings, and I keep hoping that someone will release all eight on DVD. PLEASE!

Uncredited Asian actor.......2004-05-06

The name of the uncredited Asian actor who plays the fake Mr. Moto is Teru Shimada.

Not Too Bad At All!.......2003-12-11

I give this 3 stars for what it is.... a B-Grade, wartime, espionage thriller. It's also one of the better Mr. Moto movies. Peter Lorre is always good and this time he is up against wartime saboteurs George Sanders and Ricardo Cortez. John Carradine is a double agent who.... well, I wont give it away because that is one of the more exiting parts of this 71-minute feature. All-in-all, pretty good, and a neat little time killer at a decent price. The Alpha dvd has a good definition VHS-quality picture and the sound is O.K. I've seen a lot worse Alpha product, believe me. This is a cut above their usual spy/mystery/thriller movies because it was made at 20th Century Fox and NOT Monogram or PRC. If you like this sort of thing, you wont be disappointed.

Do Not Buy. FAKE alert. .......2005-10-01

I thought I was getting a different movie from MR. MOTO'S LAST WARNING, but this DVD contains "Double Feature" with a "The Shadow" movie and "Mr. Moto's Last Warning". It has a unauthentic looking 2-color wrapper with made in Singapore written on it. I have not opened it yet, I am not sure if DVD has anything on it. I want to return it but I would lose $$$ due to postage cost. I have been duped. DO NOT BUY. I am surprised that Amazon has this for sale.

Good film, but buy the box sets :-).......2007-05-13

Very enjoyable mystery with Peter Lorre in a Charlie Chan like role. However, this film has been availale by itself for ages on both DVD and VHS. You are better off buying the 2 Fox box sets, because it's the only way to get all 8 (including this one) films that Lorre did with the character, not to mention as a bonus on set 2, a rare chance to see what Henry Silva did with it 30 years later.:-)
