1931 • Peter Lorre
• Directed by Fritz Lang •
This is the first sound film from director Fritz Lang (Metropolis) and he considered it to be his greatest achievement. This is the film that made actor Peter Lorre a star. It’s a riveting tale of a child murderer running loose on the streets of Berlin, and the race between the police and the criminal world to capture him. It has nonstop suspense, terror and action. The main character whistling "In the Hall of the Mountain King" will send chills down your spine.
