The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse (German: Die 1000 Augen des Dr. Mabuse) is a 1960 crime thriller film directed by Fritz Lang. It is a sequel to Lang's 1933 film The Testament of Dr. Mabuse, and the third film directed by Lang to feature Norbert Jacques' fictional criminal mastermind Dr. Mabuse. It stars Wolfgang Preiss in the title role, along with Dawn Addams, Peter van Eyck, Gert Fröbe, Werner Peters, and Andrea Checchi. The screenplay is based on the novel Mr. Tot Buys A Thousand Eyes by Jan Fethke.
The film was Lang's final directorial work before his death in 1976. It was an international co-production between West German, Italian, and French studios. Distributed by Prisma Filmverleih, it spawned a series of Mabuse films that were released over the following years to compete with Rialto Film's Krimi films.
