What a bummer. I enjoyed his first adaptation of “Ten Little Indians” iwth Hugh O’Brien. He deserves our respect for his long career. Not many folks make it that far. I will forgive him for “Castle of Fu Manchu”.

Obviously, I meant “WITH”. No spell check. Dammit. :roll:
I’ll never forget the Harry Alan Towers song from Fu Manchu nor its brief reprise in Outlaw.
It really did make him more memorable.
