Movie description
Includes both parts of Fritz Lang's Masterpiece! PART 1: Fritz Lang deftly evokes the soiled and shoddy world of crime-infested and inflation-racked post World War I Berlin in the first episode of his masterpiece, DR. MABUSE THE GAMBLER, PART I. Using special effects, extremely complex editing, fade outs, animation techniques and superimpositions, Lang took the lessons he learned in the supernatural films of German expressionism and applied them to this epic story of the underside of Germany. Employing his supreme powers of disguise and hypnosis, Mabuse surrounds himself with loyal servants and criminal henchmen who assassinate his rivals, manipulate the stock market and seduce wealthy citizens out of their riches. In a seedy underground cabaret, Mabuse, with the help of beautiful dancer Cara Carozza, hypnotizes a bored, wealthy man named Hull. After losing large sums of money to a disguised Mabuse, Hull is warned by police detective Wenk that he has been the victim of a master criminal. Hull ignores the warning as he has been seduced by Cara into thinking it was an honest game. Meanwhile, Wenk solicits the assistance of rich Countess Told in his endless attempts to capture Mabuse and his gang. When Cara is arrested, Mabuse retaliates by kidnapping Countess Told and eluding Wenk and the police once again. PART 2: The dark and mystical adventure of criminal mastermind Dr. Mabuse careens towards its stylized climax in the final episode, which is subtitled THE INFERNO. Part two delves further into Mabuse's maniacal manipulation and dastardly forays into illegal business, as he holds the wealthy Countess Told against her will and conspires against her husband by posing as a psychiatrist. Elaborate costumes and sets--as well as special effects and editing techniques that were well ahead of their time--lend DR. MABUSE DER SPIELER PART II an air of doom and mystery, as Detective Wenk follows Mabuse's wild goose chase further into the underworld of Berlin. Unable to convince Mabuse's former assistant, dancer, Cara Carozza to reveal his whereabouts, Wenk is fooled by a disguised Mabuse, to attend a hypnotism show by master hypnotist Weltman. The pace of the film mimics Wenk's speeding car as the police race to save Wenk from Mabuse's insidious plan and attempt to capture him at his headquarters. Using Countess Told as a shield, Mabuse attempts one last escape from the police. As the showdown erupts in a hail of bullets, leaving Mabuse's survival and ultimate legacy in question, Fritz Lang uses this complex tale of power and evil as a thinly veiled metaphor for the political state of 1920's Germany.

Movie Info if Available
Movie Plot
e - criminal genius, psychologist, hypnotist, counterfeiter, card shark, master of disguise, thief of state secrets and ruler of a sinister empire founded on selfishness, chicanery and murder - gained his first screen incarnation in this monumental four-hour film by Fritz Lang, one of cinema's greatest directors. Made in 1922 and subtitled "A Picture of the Times," Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler is indeed a snapshot of a precise historical moment when Germany was often likened to Sodom and Gomorrah, when inflation skyrocketed, public morality collapsed, and the Nazi party first emerged from Munich beer-halls.

But into Mabuse's seemingly invulnerable kingdom of crime drops State Attorney von Wenk, obsessively determined to penetrate a world of cocaine, gaming and promiscuity to find "The Great Unknown" and bring him to justice. In the manner of an old-time serial thriller, pursued and pursuer alternate in gaining the upper hand. The fantastically pulpy plot comes from Thea von Harbou's adaptation of Norbert Jacques' original novel, but even after eighty years, as critic Noel Burch has observed, Lang's textured and unforgettable portraits of Mabuse, von Wenk, Count and Countess Told, Cara Carozza, Edgar Hull and the evil Doctor's criminal gang "are still as 'alive' and as captivating as they were in 1922."

"Shoot-outs, car chases, bomb explosions, gruesome deaths - Mabuse teemed with the story components that made directing a rapturous adventure for Fritz Lang," wrote biographer Patrick McGilligan. Lang worked his crew around the clock, firing real bullets on the set for take after take, intending nothing short of perfection - which, in a way, he achieved in one of the most memorable of all silent films.

Although most of Mabuse's revolutionary photographic accomplishments no longer seem remarkable, having been absorbed into the mainstream film technique, cinematographer Carl Hoffmann here first achieved many realistic and stylized effects which brought original audiences to spontaneous applause.
