My Anonymous visitor pretty much summed this one up in the following comment :The second part has more Veidt and a lot more action, but the overall structure has the feel of a serial.
A plus: the tigers eat the right person. (<----TRUE !) I have very little to add to that. If someone has seen this film and knows how much I worship and adore Mr Veidt, you'll know seeing something like this second part was like.. well, if I'd been a teenage boy, this would have been the equivalent of a porn film. Certainly stimulated the senses in every way imaginable. It's a good thing I watched this one alone.

What more could I ask for ?
This was too much, all too much... like a visual heroin overdose. I had to take a pause while watching this bit.
I went to get a glass of cool water and sat down on the edge of my bed. The thought of Conrad Veidt, 28, dressing up in all that gear somewhere in the world (UFA studios ? ) back in 1921 and getting filmed doing that walk... it seems so surreal.
He became each character he played. He was supernatural.
He was perfect.

Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
