(1960, Upgraded 12/29/20) Peter Van Eyck, Gerte Frobe, Dawn Addams, Wolfgang Preiss, Werner Peters. Fritz Lang’s swan song with the fiendish Dr. Mabuse committing a series of murders in a Posh hotel that is filled with all kinds of strange scientific gadgets. Van Eyk plays the rich American who tries to figure it all out. Who is the mysterious clairvoyant who seems to know far more than he should? Watch for the terrific climax that features a white-knuckle car chase—bullets are flying everywhere! Preiss is, without a doubt, the best Dr. Mabuse. A great, great film! From a very nice 35mm print.
