Mabuse zuří, když mine cíl. Mabuse se tetelí rozkoší, když cítí nadcházející triumf. Mabuse je génius zločinu a zároveň prostý smrtelník ovládaný vlnami vášně.

Fritz Lang navazující na rané expresionistické opusy se obrací k současnému životu, který v poválečném Německu znamenal vlnu hospodářských nepokojů.
