About Dr. Li and the Mummy
While outside in a hotel garden at night, Miss Tang runs into a vampire. Mr. Li tries to find out if it's real or not. It may have something to do with the hotel grounds being a former gold mine. After its theatrical release, this has yet to be released again in any format anywhere. It's believed to be the first film ever to contain the jiangshi, or hopping vampire.
Directed by Xiaoqiu Zhen, Dr. Li and the Mummy leans on a strong ensemble — Chou Man-Hua, Huang Feng, Na Meng — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about mystery titles of 1940.
