THE FILMS OF SUMURU: THE MILLION EYES...


Poster for the film.
The first Harry Alan Towers produced SUMURU film was 1967's THE MILLION EYES OF SUMURU, released by AIP. It was not commercially or critically successful, but Towers went on to produce Jess Franco's SUMURU 2 [FUTURE WOMEN, THE GIRL FROM RIO] the next year. Towers retained the rights to the Sumuru character and produced yet another version in 2003, see blog below, featuring Alexandra Kamp in the title role. THE MILLION EYES...was filmed on location in Hong Kong, Franco's version was lensed in Spain and Rio locations, the 2003 project was shot in South Africa with Maria Rohm, who played supporting roles in the first two Sumurus, acting as an associate producer.
