About

Peter Lorre plays the pathetic child murderer pursued by both the law and the underworld. Music is limited to the Peer Gynt theme, which torments the murderer and announces his presence. A German classic, Fritz Lang's first talkie has been credited with formulating two genres: the serial killer movie and the police procedural.
