    Description

    The Mask of Fu Manchu, the 1932 Charles Brabin fantasy search-for-the-tomb-of-Ghengis-Khan Asian adventure horror thriller (based on the story by Sax Rohmer) starring Boris Karloff (in the title role as Dr. Fu Manchu), Lewis Stone, Myrna Loy (as Fah Lo See), Charles Starrett, Jean Hersholt, and Lawrence Grant. Note that, as was common in early Hollywood, non-Asian actors were hired to play Asians, and they did this through the use of "yellowface" makeup (similar to "blackface" makeup that had been used for so long). Note that, as was common in early Hollywood, non-Asian actors were hired to play Asians, and they did this through the use of "yellowface" makeup (similar to "blackface" makeup that had been used for so long). Often, this was in movies that featured "interracial romances" between Asians and westerners, and those who participated in such romances were shunned and often they led to murders or suicides. Thankfully, these sorts of movies and the practice of actors performing in "yellowface" has almost completely been abandoned!
