From Amazon.uk:
SYNOPSIS: With the etching onto glass of a single word "MABUSE" Berlin reawakens into a nightmare. Fritz Lang's electrifying Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse [The Testament of Dr. Mabuse] is the astonishing second instalment in the German master's legendary Mabuse series, a film that puts image and sound into an hypnotic arrangement unlike anything seen or heard in the cinema before or since.

It's been eleven years since the downfall of arch-criminal and master-of-disguise Dr. Mabuse (Rudolf Klein-Rogge), now sequestered in an asylum under the watchful eye of one Professor Baum (Oskar Beregi). Mabuse exists in a state of "catatonic graphomania", his only action the irrepressible scribbling of blueprints that would realise a seemingly theoretical "Empire of Crime". But when a series of violent events courses through the city, police and populace alike start asking themselves with increasing panic: "Who is behind all this?!" The answer borders on the realm of the impossible...

Not only a follow-up to Lang's earlier Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler. [Dr. Mabuse: The Gambler], but also, with the presence of Otto Wernicke's Police Commissioner Lohmann, a semi-sequel to Lang's immortal masterpiece M, Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse is itself considered by many to be Lang s greatest achievement a work of terrible and practically supernatural power that seems to have prophesied the implications of the Nazi scourge. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse for the very first time on Blu-ray, in a Dual Format (Blu-ray + DVD) edition and limited edition SteelBook.

SPECIAL DUAL FORMAT (BLU-RAY + DVD) EDITION FEATURES:
  • HD transfer of the film presented in its original aspect ratio, in 1080p on the Blu-ray
  • Original German-language intertitles with optional English-language subtitles
  • Feature-length audio commentary by film scholar and Fritz Lang expert David Kalat
  • Lavish booklet featuring the words of Fritz Lang, rare archival imagery, and more...

This one silent then? I assumed it would follow on from M with spoken dialogue.

Ended up ordering the amaray this time though as I got a discount on it. Can't justify the extra at the moment with so many releases coming out Sept/Oct.
 
Love all the different colours MOC/Eureka use. Orange, pink, green, blue, white. These look stunning as a collection and the print quality is pin-sharp hi-res to my eyes.
 
Yeah, this and Cleo are my last with the discount...Then I'll be ordering direct :scat:

Yeah they arrive very early if ordered direct. Using HMV (like me) gave a discount though then it's the usual zzzzzz for delivery.

lol, another collector who loves the colours EEK! I got King's Speech because it was all yellow, I'm ill :D

I ordered one from Amazon yesterday but ill check Eureka next time. Does anybody know if they plan on releasing anymore steels in the future i would have loved a Steel of Fear and desire & Onibaba

I don't think they've ever re-released a blu-ray in steel form, unfortunately, so I wouldn't count on it.
