As for the racist elements that some have obected to, I heard a story (perhaps apocryphal) that when Karloff was asked about its offensive features was said to have replied, "If you take that movie seriously, you're stupid." If he didn't say it, he should have. The Mask of Fu Manchu is a prize of my collection.

The Mask of Fu Manchu is a prize of my collection.I don't know if Karloff really said that in these terms, but if so, it was the better answer to the idiots who, for stupid PC reasons, cut the movie decades after its original release. It was so easy to add a written text - as in "Freaks" and other old movies - as a kind of "warning" for modern audiences...
