Once a Moriarty-like mastermind, the haggard Dr M (Rudolf Klein-Rogge) has become an autistic asylum inmate who scrawls plans for daring crimes in his cell and exerts an unhealthy influence on his psychiatrist. Inspector Lohmann (Otto Wernicke), the jolly policeman from Lang's M, is puzzled by a series of daring crimes that bear the Mabuse signature, and a gang of thugs take instructions from a shadowy figure who claims after the doctor's death to be Mabuse reborn and is staging a reign of crime apparently designed to bring about the ruin of all law-abiding society. Though it works best as a textbook thriller, some commentators, including Lang, suggested that the pulp plot was intended to allegorize the evil influence of the Nazi party, with a crime boss who rants like Hitler. The many impressive set-pieces still work, too: the pursuit of a spy through a grinding print-works, an assassination at a traffic light, hero and heroine trapped in a room with a bomb cutting a water main to flood their way to freedom, the persecution of the asylum head by a phantom of his patient, and a last-reel night-time chase. 655 4 Fiction films 260 Germany, |c1933. 041 deu |jhun 952 |00 |10 |40 |50 |70 |8FL |990616FL |bFL |d2016-11-25 |l0 |r2016-11-25 |w2016-11-25 |yDVD-ROM 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6FL_RECORD_0765_000000000000000 |70 |8FL |9146023FL |bFL |d2019-02-22 |l0 |oFL Record 0765 |pHU_OSA_00002498.mp4 |r2021-11-04 |w2019-02-22 |yDIGIFILM |zAccess Copy, MP4 format |cAudio Visual 920 01 KoD02bok 966 True |bHU_OSA_00002498 |cDigitally Anywhere / With Registration
