I won't pretend that the two Sumuru films from the late 1960's are great but I do have a soft spot for them. I'm due for a rewatch of both just to see if my memories are accurate and to see how Jess Franco played with the Sax Rohmer character in relation to the first film. I still need to read the novels to see if they were pulpy fun or below average adventure stuff. I've generally enjoyed all of the Rohmer I've read but I've rarely strayed from the Fu Manchu books. It might be time.
