Zing! An arrow whizzes through the air, crashes through a light globe, and imbeds itself in the wall, vibrating smartly. Three more do the same thing, leaving a remonstrant, unidentified bather in the dark. It's not at all certain that the arrows are golden. But that opening shot is the only excuse for the name, "The Golden Arrow," of Bette Davis' latest. Or else we're too obtuse...

Charlie is such a marvelous detective, and he has pulled so many surprises out of his bag in former pictures that we have gotten used to astonishing plots, particularly the one in "Charlie Chan at the Circus." Imagine our profound disappointment when we discovered that a beastly, ferocious murderer...
