Viewing Notes
I somehow skipped over this one while attempting to watch these in order, so I circled back around to this after watching THE TESTAMENT OF DR. MABUSE (which is a prequel of sorts to these first three films). This is also known as The Invisible Claws of Dr. Mabuse, which is actually a better title that more accurately depicts the plot, but no big deal.
This one gets a little odd with the whole stage play/circus clown thing but overall it works fine. I love the oddly goofy disfigured scientist who’s also a sex pest/creeper. Ah the sixties.
