Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe device that Prof. Erasmus (Rudolf Fernau) wears on his chest is the same prop that was used in The 1,000 Eyes of Dr. Mabuse (1960) as a remote control for the blast door in the basement of the Hotel Luxor.
- GoofsIn the opening scene, it is obvious that Karl-Ludwig Ruppel is using a mechanical device to move the opera glasses supposedly being used by the invisible Dr. Mabuse. The movement lacks the fluid motion of a human picking up the glasses and putting them down.

Featured review
Lex BARKER and Karin DOR versus Doctor Mabuse
Second appearance for Joe Como - Lex Barker and Karin Dor against Doctor Mabuse
And again the FBI sends its best man to Berlin, no, to an unnamed German city with P (that didn't mean Potsdam at the time) as the license plate. FBI agent Nick Prado (Alain Dijon, who was also seen in "La dolce vita") died violently there. Before that, he was at the Metropol Theater (on Nollendorffplatz in Berlin-Schöneberg) to admire Liane Martin (Karin Dor) in a play about the French Revolution. But she is also being admired by someone who seems to be invisible...
All stops are pulled out here. A professor (Rudolf Fernau) who has disappeared! An invention that makes you invisible! A persecuted innocence that smart Joe meets while looking at corpses in the morgue! A smart inspector ("DER ALTE / The Old One" Siegfried Lowitz) with a Swiss (but dubbed) sidekick (Walo Lüönd) as an assistant! A more than strange clown (Werner Peters) who loses his beautiful blonde hair as a result of his misdeeds! And of course Doctor Mabuse (Wolfgang Preiss), who, like later Michael Myers or Jason Vorhees, simply cannot be killed.
Artur Brauner (1918-2019) had the right feeling when he resurrected the character of Doctor Mabuse, created by the Luxembourg writer Norbert Jacques (1880-1954), by director Fritz Lang. In the Mabuse films, post-war German-language cinema is all about itself: dark secrets from the past, megalomaniacal world domination junkies, technical gimmicks not used for the benefit of humanity.
In this episode, which premiered on March 30, 1962 at the City in Hanover, Karin Dor's husband ACADEMY AWARD nominee Harald Reinl (1908-1986) took over the direction.
Oh yes, the Schlosshotel Wallgraben, where Karin Dor (1938-2017) and Lex Barker (1919-1973) stay, is actually the Palais Mendelssohn in Berlin-Grunewald.
A big movie theater! Must see!
