If you loved The Testament of Dr. Mabuse, try Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

What Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler is

The squalor of 1920s Berlin, winter’s cough in the air. A ring of spies signals across stock tickers. A top-hatted hypnotist buys a nightclub star’s secrets for a single orchid. Commissioner von Wenk counts losses in a café where every napkin bears a signature he can’t read.
