The Death Ray of Dr. Mabuse

The Death Ray of Dr. Mabuse (also released as The Secret of Dr. Mabuse; German title Die Todesstrahlen des Dr. Mabuse) is a 1964 co-production German-French-Italian B&W spy thriller directed by Hugo Fregonese. This is the sixth and the last installment in the Dr. Mabuse film series by CCC Films. Unlike the previous movies, this one was filmed in English. The plot is set on Malta where James Bond style agent of the British Secret Service Major Anders (Peter van Eyck) is sent to investigate the works of Professor Larsen on the "death ray" weapon. Anders soon understands that someone else hunts for the invention.
