The Testament of Dr. Mabuse (Criterion Collection)

Fritz Lang's second film featuring the criminal mastermind finds Mabuse a harmless asylum inmate, but a new crime wave has a police inspector looking for a connection. The thriller's not-always subtle parallels between Mabuse and Hitler led to a Nazi ban and forced the director to flee Germany. With Rudolf Klein-Rogge, Otto Wernicke. Two-disc set also includes the French-language version "Le Testament du Dr. Mabuse," shot simultaneously with the same cast. 121 min. Standard; Soundtrack: German; Subtitles: English; featurettes; interviews; art gallery; poster gallery. In German with English subtitles.
