Gaumont
Directed by Louis Feuillade
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Kino)
Third in the Fantomas series, this time about a dead man supposedly committing a series of crimes. Fantomas has actually cut off the fingerprints of his latest murder victims, using them to foil the police and the tireless newspaperman Fandor. Since this is telegraphed to the viewer early on, it kind of ruins the mystery and suspense. Still, there are the usual ingenuous escapes and location photography, this time in the Paris sewers, to keep things interesting.
