Title NoteFritz Lang said of making a final version of Dr. Mabuse in 1960 that it would be "a way of saying certain things about our time." Distributor NoteThe last film ever made by the great Fritz Lang (Metropolis, M, The Big Heat), this fascinating thriller combines elements of film noir, horror, and science fiction. Gert Frobe (Goldfinger) stars as police commissioner Kras, trying to uncover the sinister secret of the mysterious Hotel Luxor, ground zero for a massive crime wave. The crimes show all the hallmarks of evil genius Dr. Mabuse--but he died 30 years ago! Digitally restored from original studio negatives. Release NoteDVD Features Product NotesTHE THOUSAND EYES OF DR. MABUSE by legendary director Fritz Lang (M, METROPOLIS, THE BIG HEAT) commences with a reporter being murdered in his car by a mysterious assassin. Simultaneously, Cornelious, a blind seer, predicts a murder at the police station just as an anonymous caller is phoning in a tip to the police. So begins the third installment in Lang's Dr. Mabuse trilogy. Invoking crime serials of the early days of cinema, the film takes place in post-war Berlin, where the swanky hotel Luxor is the locus of a disturbing ten-year crime spree. Every room is closely watched from a surveillance headquarters in the basement of the hotel, and a gang of criminals taking their orders from a mysterious leader's recorded voice plan a vast range of crimes, including the theft of military secrets and the explosion of a nuclear weapons plant. Police commissioner Krause and his men relentlessly search for clues, while hotel guests Marion, a suicidal young woman, and Travers, a millionaire planning to buy the nuclear weapons plant, spark up a romance. Undercover spies, two way mirrors, double agents, club-footed assassins and pre-modern surveillance technology create a frenetic and breakneck atmosphere as the plot escalates into a series of stylized twists that only Fritz Lang could dream up.
