The Face of Fu Manchu
Obey Fu Manchu Or Every Living Thing Will Die!
Directed by Don Sharp
Produced by Constantin Film, Hallam Productions
A pulpy 1960s thriller built on exotic menace and detective intrigue, where an apparently-dead villain's return threatens London with an exotic weapon.
Grisly strangulations in London alert Nayland Smith of Scotland Yard to the possibility that fiendish Fu Manchu may not after all be dead, even though Smith witnessed his execution. A killer spray made from Tibetan berries seems to be involved and clues keep leading back to the Thames.
