starring Peter Lorre
The letter M ' - for murderer - plays a vital part in this classic film of a vicious killer hunted by both police and the underworld. Based on a true case of a Dusseldorf child murderer, ' M ' was Fritz Lang 's first sound film. Lorre's devastating portrait of a pathological murderer is generally regarded as his greatest performance.
