The Face of Fu Manchu

The daughter (Tsai Chin) and assistant (Peter Mossbacher) of the title character (Christopher Lee) enter his lair in London, with news that Scotland Yard has come calling, causing him to press his prisoner Muller (Walter Rilla) to release the formula for his secret super poison, in The Face Of Fu Manchu, 1965.

We’ve just learned that Jansen (Joachim Fuchsberger) and Maria (Karin Dor), the assistant and daughter of kidnapped professor Muller, are a couple, reluctantly sharing what they know with Scotland Yard’s Smith (James Robertson Justice), in the first in the Christopher Lee series, The Face Of Fu Manchu, 1965.

Smashing opening, on location in Ireland in this British-German-Irish co-production, in which the title character (Christopher Lee) appears to be executed, a result of the efforts of “the foreigner.” (James Robertson Justice, whom we will learn is a Scotland Yard man), in The Face Of Fu Manchu, 1965.
