Another movie that wastes Sellers.

Peter Sellers is limited here to repeating his previous hits in a cartoonish way. [Full Review in Spanish]

For the sake of the late, great, brilliant Peter Sellers, let's all just forget this movie even exists.

Sad, sad end to Peter Sellers' great movie career. Lackluster at best.

Improves with age and comparison to newer junk

Rating: 1/4 --
The movie has some good moments (what Peter Sellers comedy could not have?), but the story never really involves us.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Time's running out for the world's supreme criminal mastermind: Fu Manchu has run out of the elixir that keeps his 168-year-old body Fit for Fiendishness. So he and his malevolent minions set out to purloin the ingredients, including a canary-yellow diamond that's one of England's crown jewels. In his final film, Peter Sellers merrily spoofs one of horror's favorite arch villains. He's deliciously diabolical - and doesn't stop there: he's up to his old multiple-role tricks that worked so hilariously in Dr. Strangelove and The Mouse That Roared, also stiff-upper-lipping it as Fu's unflappable nemesis, Nayland Smith of Scotland Yard. Adding to this case of multiple laughs are Helen Mirren as a tap-dancing constable, Sid Caesar as an uncouth American G-man and David Tomlinson as a befuddled commissioner.
Product Description:
A comedy featuring Sellers as the insidious Dr. Fu Manchu. Caesar plays the role of a G-man hot on his trail.
