M. (1931)
It was great to see what Fritz Lang was up to after Metropolis.
Peter Lorre made a name for himself playing child killer Beckert.
Common criminals are recruited to track down the elusive killer, as the police pulled out all stops and came up empty.
Nice to see early 30's Germany, and this film was interestingly shot.
It doesn't reach boiling point until the very end, where Justice gets served.
I couldn't help but compare it to the Joe Losey re-make which was well done.
Stark & Creepy flick.
