Review of The Mask of Fu Manchu (1932) by Kevin N — 15 Jul 2010
Racist, sexist and completely campy, this film is worth a watch mostly to see Karloff's amusingly bizarro turn as Fu Manchu and Myrna Loy as his opium-smoking nymphomaniac daughter. The story about follows suit; the tomb of Ghengis Khan is discovered, and a few British explorers must find it before the evil Fu Manchu- who plans to use it to wipe out the entire white race.
There isn't a lick of sense to any of the story, but the film acts now as a showcase of some of MGM's strangest mainstream horror genre ploys.
