Lee Asian crime mystery romantic melodrama sequel ("The mysterious sign of vengeance wars of the Return of Dr. Fu Manchu"; based on the novel by Sax Rohmer; in the first movie, The Mysterious Dr. Fu Manchu, the movie ended with Fu Manchu apparently dead, and the young lovers planning to marry; this sequel opens with their planning their wedding, when it turns out that Fu Manchu is NOT dead after all, and most reviews say that this sequel is better than the first movie!) starring Warner Oland (in the title role as Dr. Fu Manchu), O.P. Heggie (best remembered as the blind man who befriends the monster in "The Bride of Frankenstein", and also as the next door cellmate to Robert Donat in "The Count of Monte Cristo"), Jean Arthur, Neil Hamilton, Evelyn Hall, and Tetsu Komai. Finally, note that, as noted above, the movie has two similar titles. In the pressbook, the title is given as "The Return of Dr. Fu Manchu", but the posters shown in the pressbook use the other title "The Return of Fu Manchu"! Also, the jumbo lobby cards and still use the "The Return of Dr. Fu Manchu" title. So obviously, they used both versions at the same time, and we don't know why! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: NOTE THAT THIS DOES NOT HAVE ITS ORIGINAL DUST JACKET, BUT RATHER IT HAS A REPRODUCTION DUST JACKET. We pictured both sides of the REPRO dust jacket, so that it will be that much more clear that it is not original. PLEASE DO NOT BID THINKING THIS BOOK HAS AN ORIGINAL DUST JACKET. Also note that this is the book the above movie was based on (it was published 12 years earlier), and it is therefore obviously not a "movie edition". Also note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Condition: good to very good. The original dust jacket is missing and has been replaced with a REPRODUCTION dust jacket (see above). Learn More about condition grades
