Composer Michael Nyman, best known for his classical film scores, has teamed up with soul singer David McAlmont for a new album, The Glare.

The criminal mastermind Dr Mabuse features in three of Fritz Lang's films, starting with his silent 1922 film Dr Mabuse the Gambler, followed by The Testament of Dr Mabuse in 1933 and ending with The 1,000 Eyes of Dr Mabuse, which was the final film of Lang's career in 1960.
