“M” Special English Language 2-Disc DVD Fritz Lang-Peter Lorre

“M” Special English Language 2-Disc DVD Fritz Lang-Peter Lorre:

(1931) Peter Lorre, Ellen Widmann, Inge Landgut, Theodor Loos, Otto Wernicke.  This great two-disc set features the rare English-language UK edition, which includes additional footage actually shot in the UK and added to the film.  And yes…Lorre did dub his own voice for the English version.  Also included in this two-disc set is the original German language edition with brand new English subtitles.  We all know the story:  Berlin has been terrorized by a slew of horrible child murders—the whole city trembles with fear.  Lorre, as the deranged killer, lures the children by offering them sweets and toys.  Yet all the police have to go on are the hand-written letters sent by Lorre to a big city newspaper.  The criminal element also wants to see the killer captured because of the increased citywide police surveillance.  The film’s renowned climax features Lorre’s “trial” by the kingpins of Berlin’s criminal underworld.  One of the all-time cinema greats.  Directed by Fritz Lang.  From 35mm.
