I'll third Your Turn, Mr. Moto. While the idea of a white man (Peter Lorre) playing a Japanese role in the movies is not something most people are comfortable with today, the basic idea of an oriental detective in a society where orientals at the time were not given their due respect was probably considered very forward thinking when the books on which the movies were based were written.
