An Undated (probably 1962) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Folded German Movie Poster (measures approximately 23" x 33") (Learn More) Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler (released in English-speaking countries as "Dr. Mabuse: The Gambler" and "Dr. Mabuse, King of Crime"), the 1922 Fritz Lang German silent gambling crime thriller (based on the novel by Norbert Jacques; about a criminal mastermind in Germany who runs all of the various crime syndicates there; in this movie, he has a scheme to make a fortune by rigging the Stock Exchange, and as part of his plan, he gets into an expensive card game with a very rich man, and intentionally loses to him; he is a master of disguise, and in one of his disguises, he is a magician at a cabaret, amazing the audience with his illusions) starring Rudolf Klein-Rogge (in the title role as Dr. Mabuse), Alfred Abel, Aud Egede Nissen, Gertrude Welcker, and Bernhard Goetzke. This movie was so long (over 5 hours), that it was only rarely released as one movie, and far more often it was split into two parts (the second part was called "Dr. Mabuse, Inferno des Verbrechens"). Note that Fritz Lang made this wonderful movie in 1922. In 1933, he resurrected the character in a sound movie, "Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse", and he simultaneously made the movie in French as "Le Testament du Dr. Mabuse" (Lang was fluent in French, but most of the actors were not, so those actors were replaced by French actors, except for Rudolf Klein-Rogge, and because he could not speak French, his lines were dubbed, because he was essential to the movies). The movie was banned in Germany by Joseph Goebbels, who felt it reflected poorly on Germany, and because of this, its world premiere was held in Budapest. After making this movie, Lang left Germany, first for France, where he made Liliom, and then to America, where he stayed and made many memorable movies.
