    A solid Thriller by the late Fritz Lang and his last movie before he become completely blind. The movie has the feel of a British B-Spy Movie and unfolds with a steady pace. As you may expect by Lang, one of German Expressionist cinemas strongest represants, the visual style is i...( read more)nteresting and sometimes even excellent. Unfortunately, the genius only comes through in limited numbers, during the "Seance" or "Showdown" sequence.

    Still, Gert Fröbe is a solid lead, but one can see why he has been seldomly cast as hero because he is way too bulky in his acting and should play characters who are either evil or ambigious. The rest of the cast is okay, nothing worth the mention really.

    Al in all, recommended to fans of the genre and people looking for something slightly different than your average American thriller, but nothing spectacular and can be missed. Better check out the silent classic versions of Mabuse by Fritz Lang

    Very good even though Lang was almost blind by the time that he made this. Better than many made by those with two good eyes.

    I haven't seen any of Fritz Lang's earlier Dr. Mabuse films, but I suspect they are better than this. I was unimpressed by this movie, though it wasn't necessarily bad. I don't know, it made me think of an old Perry Mason episode (well, if an old Perry Mason episode had a blind p...( read more)sychic and an old German hotel filled with Nazi surveillance cameras). It's called a thriller but it is not really thrilling...The concept is kind of interesting, but it really falls flat.
