Trimble began his film career directing Jean, the Vitagraph Dog, the first canine to have a leading role in motion pictures. He made his acting debut in the 1910 silent" Saved by the Flag", directed scores of films for Vitagraph and other studios, and became head of production for Florence Turner's independent film company in England( 1913 – 1916). Laurence Norwood Trimble( February 15, 1885 – February 8, 1954) was an American silent film director, writer and actor.

After he left filmmaking he trained animals exclusively, particularly guide dogs for the blind. <SEP> Ransom is a 1928 American silent drama film directed by George B. Seitz and is considered to be lost. This is one of the many films of this period that sought to cash in on the fame of the then- popular Sax Rohmer" Fu Manchu" novels. Surprisingly, Columbia resorted to aping the character instead of attempting to secure the rights legally from the author. The following year, Paramount released the first of a Fu Manchu trilogy of films that were very successful. <SEP> Grim Justice is a 1916 British silent drama film directed by Laurence Trimble and starring Florence Turner, Henry Edwards, Malcolm Cherry. <SEP> His best known films were made for Hammer in the 1960s, and included" The Kiss of the Vampire"( 1962) and" Rasputin, the Mad Monk"( 1966). Donald Herman Sharp( 19 April 192114 December 2011) was an Australian- born British film director. In 1965 he directed" The Face of Fu Manchu", based on the character created by Sax Rohmer, and starring Christopher Lee. Sharp also directed the sequel" The Brides of Fu Manchu"( 1966).

It starred Christopher Lee as Dr. Fu Manchu, Richard Greene as Scotland Yard detective Nayland Smith, and Howard Marion- Crawford as Dr. Petrie. The movie was filmed in Spain and Brazil. Shirley Eaton appears in a scene that she claimed she was never paid for; apparently, the director Jesús Franco had inserted some stock footage of her from one of her films(" The Girl from Rio"( 1968)) into the film without telling her. She only found out years later that she had been in a Fu Manchu film. <SEP> It stars Christopher Lee as the eponymous villain, a Chinese criminal mastermind, and Nigel Green as his pursuing rival Nayland Smith, a Scotland Yard detective. The film was a British- West German co-production, and was the first in a five- part series starring Lee and produced by Harry Alan Towers for Constantin Film, the second of which was" The Brides of Fu Manchu" released the next year, with the final entry being" The Castle of Fu Manchu" in 1969. The Face of Fu Manchu is a 1965 thriller film directed by Don Sharp and based on the characters created by Sax Rohmer.
