Warren William is no William Powell. The mystery isn't very good nor is the whole premise, the whole thing reminded me of a Scooby-Doo episode. Some of the characters were fun and the whole thing only took about an hour so it never really had a chance to drag.

The problem these Philo Vance pictures have is they don’t have William Powell (therefore lacking charisma). Nice underwater shots, but boring story, with a little hint of racism from the protagonist just for fun: “But isn’t that a characteristic of your race?” Jesus

Warren William takes over William Powell's place as Detective Philo Vance in a fine manner. These murder cases are a gentleman's detective story so not much suspense or drama. Just joking around until they stumble over something to solve the mystery. A potboiler in it's genre and good easy entertainment thanks to a great cast of character actors and "The Dragon Murder Case" is no different. Just another middle of the road entry in the series.
