Viewing Notes

In the search for the Edgar Wallace German adaptations (krimi), the Mabuse films from the same period would often pop up. They aren’t Wallace stories but the films and stories share a lot in common with the krimi movies.

This features my favorite Tarzan, Lex Barker, as the leading man on the trail of Mabuse. The gorgeous Karin Dor is caught in the middle. This is a fun movie with a few surprises plus Barker goes full Tarzan on a gang of thugs.

Would love to have these films on BD as well.
