_________
This is the well-made, highly regarded first film in a series of Fu Manchu films starring Christopher Lee as the evil Oriental villain who mixes magic and science freely. Tsai Chin plays Fu's beautiful but evil daughter.
In this first film of the series, Fu Manchu's plan for world domination hinges on the poison gas which his captive German scientist (Walter Rilla) has been forced to devised in order to save his daughter (Karin Dor), whom Fu holds hostage.
Nigel Green plays the series' hero, Sir Nayland Smith, in the first outing. He must find Fu Manchu's secret headquarters, located directly under the Thames River. The climax takes place in the villain's palace in Tibet.
Directed by Don Sharp. _________________ ____________
