Dr. Mabuse the Gambler (DVD)
Includes both parts of Fritz Lang's Masterpiece! PART 1: Fritz Lang deftly evokes the soiled and shoddy world of crime-infested and inflation-racked post World War I Berlin in the first episode of his masterpiece, DR. MABUSE THE GAMBLER, PART I. Using special effects, extremely complex editing, fade outs, animation techniques and superimpositions, Lang took the lessons he learned in the supernatural films of German expressionism and applied them to this epic story of the underside of Germany. Employing his supreme powers of disguise and hypnosis, Mabuse surrounds himself with loyal servants and criminal henchmen who assassinate his rivals, manipulate the stock market and seduce wealthy citizens out of their riches. In a seedy underground cabaret, Mabuse, with the help of beautiful dancer Cara Carozza, hypnotizes a bored, wealthy man named Hull. After losing large sums of money to a disguised Mabuse, Hull is warned by police detective Wenk that he has been the victim of a master criminal. Hull ignores the warning as he has been seduced by Cara into thinking it was an honest game. Meanwhile, Wenk solicits the assistance of rich Countess Told in his endless attempts to capture Mabuse and his gang. When Cara is arrested, Mabuse retaliates by kidnapping Countess Told and eluding Wenk and the police once again. PART 2: The dark and mystical adventure of criminal mastermind Dr. Mabuse careens towards its stylized climax in the final episode, which is subtitled THE INFERNO. Part two delves further into Mabuse's maniacal manipulation and dastardly forays into illegal business, as he holds the wealthy Countess Told against her will and conspires against her husband by posing as a psychiatrist. Elaborate costumes and sets--as well as special effects and editing techniques that were well ahead of their time--lend DR. MABUSE DER SPIELER PART II an air of doom and mystery, as Detective Wenk follows Mabuse's wild goose chase further into the underworld of Berlin. Unable to convinc
A distinct departure from the saccharine fare of most sitcom families, the Bundys are a dysfunctional bunch of malcontents, who struggle to get along with each other and stay afloat in the world. Their patriarch, Al (Ed O'Neil), had his glory days back in high school as the star of the football team, and now makes his living as a shoe salesman. He spends his spare time watching way too much television, impervious to the amorous advances of his wife Peg (Katey Sagal), a former cheerleader and Al's high school sweetheart. Their daughter Kelly (Christina Applegate) is a blonde bimbo, and their son Bud (David Faustino) is a sexually frustrated misfit; Marcy D'Arcy (Amanda Bearce) is their meddlesome neighbor. In the third season, Elvis fans see the image of the King in a sweat stain on Al's shirt; Al and Peg dine and dash; Kelly must tap dance for an audience of nerds; and Peg endeavors to be Prom Queen at her high school reunion, no matter what it takes. Episodes include: He Thought He Could, Poke High (aka The Red Grange Story), Her Cups Runneth Over, Eatin' Out, The Dateless Amigo, and Life's a Beach.DVD Features:Region (unknown)3-Disc Set - Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Stereo - English
