- Quotes
Henry B. Travers: Try to relax. You know what you're doing just doesn't make sense. There's no way back. You're young and quite beautiful. Yes, you should know that. Please, give life another chance. If you jump you might not die instantly. You might linger on for months. Wake up and find that you're a cripple. Think about it.
Marion Menil: It's hopeless. Too scared.
Henry B. Travers: Give me your hand. Come, reach out to me. You can do it.
man in crowd: Thank God. Otherwise I couldn't eat any supper at all tonight.
- Alternate versionsMost versions end with Marion waking in what appears to be a hospital. Travers is at her bedside, and the two hold hands and exchange some unheard dialogue as the picture fades to black. In the French release this scene lasts a few seconds longer, and we see Marion's eyes close as she slumps back against the bed, presumably dying.
- ConnectionsEdited into Die 1000 Glotzböbbel vom Dr. Mabuse (2018)
Fritz Lang returned to Germany and the character that he had so much success with in the 1920's and early 30's. This newer film doesn't rank with those earlier ones, but it's a lot of fun, and was an obvious influence on the later spy films of the 1960's. The mystery of Mabuse's identity isn't very difficult to guess at all, but there are enough interesting characters to fill up the screen and make things enjoyable. Frobe as the dogged policeman, Wolfgang Preiss as a blind psychic, and Howard Vernon as an assassin with a needle gun, are all stand-outs. This was a big hit in Europe, and spawned a whole new series of sequels, but without Lang's participation.
