Viewing Notes

Figured I’d keep my Saturday CCC theme going with a Mabuse flick from the Eureka set I don’t own.. but Ron does!

Always enjoy seeing Tarzan (Lex Barker) show up in these German genre films. Also fun to see Goldfinger as the protagonist again :)

All the Chicago mentions are hilarious.
