Description

Drums of Fu Manchu (Republic, 1940). Very Fine on Linen. One Sheet (27" X 41").
In Drums of Fu Manchu, the sinister Dr. Fu Manchu embarks on a quest to obtain an ancient scepter believed to grant limitless power to its wielder. With plans to use it to unite Asia under his authoritarian rule, he is pursued by British agent Sir Denis Nayland Smith and his loyal companion, Dr. Petrie, who race against time to thwart his ambitions. This 15-chapter adventure serial-produced by Republic Pictures and directed by the acclaimed team of William Witney and John English-unfolds across exotic locations, filled with cliffhanger escapes, treacherous traps, and relentless action. Based on the novels by Sax Rohmer, the serial stars Henry Brandon as the infamous supervillain in one of his most memorable roles. Widely regarded as one of the finest serials produced by Republic, Drums of Fu Manchu remains a standout. Backed to linen, there has been minimal touch-up to the folds. Thanks to these efforts, the poster displays wonderfully.
