Turner Classic Movies will play

This isn't a channel I get, but for those of you who might be intrigued by extremely incorrect horror from 1932, the acting by Karloff and Loy is considered very good.
Myrna Loy, who plays the "sadistic nymphomaniac" Fah Lo See, had long been typecast as an exotic temptress. At her own insistence, this was her last of many roles as an Asian character. Nonetheless, she brings undeniable energy and conviction to the role, and her sensuality surely pushed the limits of the pre-Code era.
