You Saw It Here First (slight spoiler)


This is a brilliant film and it is a shame that no-one else has commented on it. And how many times have we seen the scene of a man being shot while driving his car and the car staying still when the cars around it start to move? It's been ripped off in The Ipcress File, The Heist and a short movie called Fright, and probably hundreds of others, but never done better than here.

No wonder the film got banned in Germany: the criminal wants to wipe away western decadence with a reign of crime: rather like Hitler.

A major expressionist movie, and maybe even better than the first film.

The reason no one commented on it is because this is the French version, not the German one. Look up, "Das Testement Des Dr. Mabuse."
