Synopsis: A simple, haunting phrase whistled off-screen tells us that a young girl will be killed. “Who is the murderer?†pleads a nearby placard as serial killer Hans Beckert (Peter Lorre) closes in on little Elsie Beckmann... In his harrowing masterwork, Fritz Lang merges trenchant social commentary with chilling suspense, creating a panorama of private madness and public hysteria that to this day remains the blueprint for the psychological thriller.
Alternate Title(s): Fritz Lang's M, M - Eine Stadt sucht einen Mörder, The Murderers Are Among Us
