Eureka! Classics | The ultimate edition 2-disc set!
The two-part film Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler [Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler] is one of the most sensational crime thrillers ever filmed. It is also, together with Die Nibelungen, Metropolis, and M, one of Fritz Lang’s most accomplished films.
It mirrors German society of the 1920s in all its criminal-ridden decadence. Its sinister theme is domination by terror. The power-crazed Mabuse masterminds the world’s most dangerous gang of counterfeiters, thieves, and murderers, wielding hypnotic powers with an iron fist to obtain total obedience to his will.
A master of many disguises, Mabuse is portrayed by Rudolf Klein-Rogge, who later starred as Rotwang, the mad scientist, in Lang’s science-fiction classic, Metropolis. See the cinema’s most legendary criminal genius in this monumental four-hour epic.
The perfect choice for DVD collectors and with a stunning array of special features.
Dr Mabuse – the Gambler has to be seen to be believed.
