Edgar Wallace Present: Five Golden Dragons (1967) (DVD)

Christopher Lee, George Raft and Brian Donlevy are among the villainous 'dragons' encountered by Hitchcock hero Robert Cummings in this exotic British feature from 1967, adapting one of Edgar Wallace's celebrated 'Commissioner Sanders' stories.
