Good times ahead! Although I couldn't tell you why I never watched any of the other Mabuse films to this point, I'm excited to think about these movies and Lang again. <em>M</em> is another favorite of mine by him.

Well, I admire the artistry, but for my money 'The Testament of Dr. Mabuse' is <i>the</i> Dr. Mabuse movie! The things Lang does with sound, then a new thing in cinema, in that movie is still more interesting than what many modern movies do, save for the Coens and David Lynch.<br /><br />'The 1000 Eyes of Dr. Mabuse' (1960) is pre-James Bond high octane espionage madness, perhaps historically less important but so entertaining!<br /><br />Interesting how Lang was ahead of the future with each movie - the first showed stock manipulation and the Crash; the second heralded the rise of Hitler; and the third invented the modern action thriller.LMRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08538873868140070018noreply@blogger.com
