Poster of the Week!-- Creepy German Expressionism illustrates this 1933 poster for Fritz Lang's Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse. This was the last film Lang made in Germany until the late '50s, when he returned to make his "Indian" films and one more Mabuse (the excellent The 1,000 Eyes of Dr. Mabuse, Lang's last film, and a blueprint for a lot of the pulp cinema of the '60s). Testament was also the film that Lang claimed to have placed Nazi slogans into the mouth of the raving madman and arch-criminal Mabuse (some historians doubt this). More Mabuse stuff: A review of the dubbed American version of Testament, The Crimes of Dr. Mabuse in Bright Lights Film Journal; a review of the 1962 remake of The Testament of Dr. Mabuse, known in the US as Terror of the Mad Doctor; Who is Doctor Mabuse?; images from a 1000 Eyes/Return of Dr. Mabuse double feature pressbook (Gert "Goldfinger" Frobe vs. Dr. Mabuse! - Dr. Mabuse is on the loose! His Evil and Fiendish Power Unleashes a Blood-Bath of Chemical and Electronic Terror!!); actually, a bunch of cool Mabuse content from Evilskip's Movie Joint. As always, click on the image on the left for a larger version. 306K.
