Dr. Mabuse Vs. Scotland Yard - 1963 - 5/10
AKA - Scotland Yard Jagt Dr. Mabuse
Hard to get shed of classic villains permanently.
The “spirit” of the criminal mastermind enters the body of a distinguished professor.
In possession of corporeal form, Mabuse rebuilds a gang and plots world domination … again.
He obtains a gizmo that gives him total mind control of all but a select few.
Even poor Klaus Kinski, stalwart Scotland Yard detective, succumbs!
OK enough Krimi is a bit talky at time, and the criminal business often extends too long.
An early Krimi, this one is more serious than spoof in adapting the Edgar Wallace source.
