Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler
Synopsis
Dr. Mabuse and his criminal organization are working to finalize a scheme involving the theft of sensitive information, which Mabuse plans to use to gain substantial profits on the stock exchange. Following this, Mabuse disguises himself to attend a performance at the Folies Bergères, where he encounters Cara Carozza, the show's main attraction, who secretly provides him with details about his next target: the young millionaire Edgar Hull. Using psychic manipulation, Mabuse entices Hull into a high-stakes card game in which Hull suffers significant losses. As Police Commissioner von Wenk initiates an investigation into the string of mysterious crimes, he finds himself with few leads and must seek assistance to uncover the truth.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 20
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
