Review of The Mask of Fu Manchu (1932) by Kenneth E — 29 May 2011
A strange mixture of horror, sci-fi, and xenophobia, and at some points as painful to a modern audience as a minstrel show. However, Karloff is, as always, fabulous and Myrna Loy is a delight as his sadistic nymphomaniac of a daughter.
There are some imaginative scenes of torture, and it is campy fun to watch one hero escape by running across a pit of alligators!
