Fritz Lang thought this was his best stuff. It's a great early Peter Lorre, and quite memorable. submitted by lisa on August 1, 2019, 1:18pm How the "M" comes into it, I won't spoil for you. But what a great idea.

dvd ok, but movie no big deal, regardless what the critics say. submitted by Tassos on March 24, 2023, 3:14pm This is a 1931 'thriller'. Only one to two decades later, the Great Alfred Hitchcock made far,far superior crime movies than this naive, poorly written script.
