3 unusual facts about Rohmer


Florence Benoît-Rohmer

Her academic interest is focused on mechanism for the preservation of human rights both within the European Union and the Council of Europe, especially the European Convention on Human Rights and the European Social Charter.

She is also keen in the development of the protection of human rights within the European Union, including through the proclamation of the Charter of Fundamental Rights and adherence of the Union to the European Convention on human rights, writing a regular column on human rights in the European Union to the quarterly Journal of European Law.

Ann Rohmer

Her parents are Richard Rohmer and Olivia Rohmer; she has an older sister, Catherine, who is a lawyer.

Doctor Sax

He is mentioned as being the great-grandson of The Devil Doctor (because of the Doctor's creator, Sax Rohmer) and fights against Mina Murray, Allan Quatermain, Paradise and Dean Moriarty (who is the great-grandson of Manchu's rival and Sherlock Holmes' arch-nemesis Professor Moriarty).

Dragon Lady

However, a 1931 film based on Rohmer’s The Daughter of Fu Manchu, titled Daughter of the Dragon, is thought to have been partly the inspiration for the Caniff cartoon name.

La Collectionneuse

In his 2003 film The Five Obstructions, Danish director Jørgen Leth describes La Collectionneuse as his favourite work by Rohmer, and he hired one of its stars, Patrick Bauchau, to appear in The Five Obstructions.

Le Signe du Lion

The film is one of Rohmer's least-seen features in the Anglosphere; it did not screen in the UK until 1966, and didn't show until 1970 in the United States, where it has never been available on home video (an English-subtitled DVD is available in the UK).

Yellow Peril

It is clearly in the same line as the contemporaneous works of Philip José Farmer, "updating" Rohmer the way Farmer updated Edgar Rice Burroughs, Lester Dent, and Walter B. Gibson.
