Grisly strangulations in London alert Nayland Smith of Scotland Yard to the possibility of the fiendish Fu Manchu may not be dead after all, 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.
The ultra-prolific Christopher Lee managed to find time in the 60's to appear in a series of films based around the Chinese master criminal Fu Manchu. I have seen all of them aside from The Vengeance of Fu Manchu (1967) and have to say that I have found them to be a disappointingly dull series of movies. In fact, the only one I actually enjoyed was the Jess Franco directed entry The Castle of Fu Manchu (1969), which seems to have the reputation as the worst but which I inexplicably found to be the best! This no doubt says more about me than anything but there you go. Anyway, The Face of Fu Manchu seems to have been the one which got the ball rolling and could therefore be considered the template entry of the 60's strand of these films. It opens in China where we witness Fu Manchu being executed. Needless to say he re-appears later on (was anyone really surprised about this) and captures a scientist and his daughter, he uses the latter to coerce the former into developing a deadly poisonous gas which he intends to use to nefarious effect in the UK. And somehow this will lead on to him ruling the world or something.
The production values here are not too bad for a low budget effort. The period detail sort of hides the cheapness to some extent even if it still sort of feels like it's really the 60's more than the 20's in this one. The main issue though is that it is all just a little too routine and by-the-numbers. Nothing surprising ever really happens and it does become increasingly tedious as it progresses. It's still one of the better 60's Fu Manchu movies though, although given the less than stellar competition I don't think this can be taken as a fully endorsed recommendation.
The first of five films starring Christopher Lee as the Chinese criminal mastermind created by Sax Rohmer, this is enormous fun from start to finish. I have to admit that I was slightly apprehensive before watching the film as Fu Manchu is the archetypal Chinese character of the Yellow Peril era but I need not have worried. Yes, the character is played by a man whose only remotely Chinese attribute is his surname but both Lee's performance and the strong script manage to prevent Fu Manchu from devolving into a racist caricature. The film is very well directed by Hammer veteran Don Sharp and there are some great action scenes and some very memorable visuals.
Lee, one of my absolute favourite actors, is never less than completely compelling as Fu Manchu, who is such a frightening figure in part because he never raises his voice. The truly powerful do not need to shout and scream to have their way. He is an amoral genius who wishes to use the poisonous solution that can be obtained from the black hill poppy, which grows only in Tibet, to gain control of Britain and eventually the world. He is a great villain of the old mould. Nigel Green is excellent in the role of his arch-nemesis Denis Nayland Smith and it is a shame that he did not return for any of the sequels, being replaced by Douglas Wilmer in the second and third films and Richard Greene in the fourth and fifth.
The film has a very strong supporting cast overall: Joachim Fuchsberger as Carl Jannsen, Karin Dor as Maria Muller, Walter Rilla (the father of "Village of the Damned" director Wolf Rilla) as her father Professor Muller, Tsai Chin as Fu Manchu's daughter Lin Tang, Howard Marion-Crawford as Dr. Petrie and James Robertson Justice as Sir Charles. Like Lee, Chin and Marion-Crawford appeared in all five films. Unlike Hammer's 1961 film "The Terror of the Tongs", there were several actors of Chinese descent who had speaking roles in the film and I appreciated that. Lee played a similar character in that film but I am glad to say that he toned down his performance on this occasion.
It was filmed in Dublin and the neighbouring countryside and I recognised a few of the streets. I was on the lookout for street signs in Irish or other things that would give away that it was filmed in Ireland but I couldn't spot any, unfortunately. Unless, of course, you count the inclusion of Irish actors such as the great character actor Jim Norton in one of his first on screen roles and Joe Lynch, who is little known outside Ireland but is well known in the country for his role as Dinny in the long-running soap opera "Glenroe".
Overall, this is a hugely enjoyable old fashioned thriller which I enjoyed far more than I expected.
