Turner switching from disguise to disguise (though in every identity, he resembles a shark in human form)

I love his smile because there are so many things wrong with it. It's not reassuring and it's more than ordinarily false—never mind not reaching the eyes, it barely gets past Rasp's teeth. It says damning things about the person who thinks that's a thing you're supposed to do with your face.

is a wonderful effect though. There's a very subtle cut if you watch closely, but mostly I think it was the actor ruffling his hair and changing his expression.

Yes; that was great. And the fact that he was played by Fritz Rasp, who as far as I can tell Fritz Lang just called whenever he needed a really creepy villain.

Have you seen The Testament of Dr. Mabuse?

No! The HFA screened it as part of their Lang series, but I couldn't make the date. I think of it as easier to get hold of than Frau im Mond, though. When Frau im Mond isn't streaming on Netflix.
