So many jaw dropping shots in this movie! Like Peter Lorre's shadow covering up the word murder as he talks to the girl, amazing!

At 5:21, this isn't Peter Lorre whistling. Apparently he either could not do it the way Lang liked, or he simply couldn't whistle at all, so that is actually Fritz Lang's whistling of "In the Hall of the Mountain King."

I always laugh when she tells them to stop singing the song, and they go right back at it. A true classic from the Weimar period.

One of the most powerful murder scenes ever and yet the murder isn't shown. That is the genius of Fritz Lang.This film was way ahead of it's time.

This movie reminded so much of "a nightmare on elm st" with the children singing "1-2 better lock your doors" It looks like wes craven used this movie as a stepping stone for elm st. It look like Freddy being hunted down prior to the towns people burning him. This movie rocks!

this film made a history; i found its influence at least in two other classic films: "Dial M for Murder" "The third man" who knows more?

One of many beautiful details: the haunting presence of Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King," which most people know builds up to a terrible, violent climax... the murderer whistles the melody up till that point... we never once in the film hear the explosive, violent outburst of brass and percussion, etc., at the height of the piece... all the violence is politely, in a terrible, horrifying way, not shown to us, concealed... or we're spared from it. but we all KNOW how that song goes...

At 6:26 the shot of the stairs from above is a lot like the shot from Vertigo, except without the dolly zoom of course

dark: I agree. If violence is going to be visible in a movie, it has to be done tastefully. Constantly showing blood and guts just disgusts the viewer to the point where they don't care about the plot. If violence is used, it has to be done so it makes a point or makes a deep impression on the viewer rather than just their senses. If that makes any sense. ;)

M was originally intended to be entitled Murderers Among Us but Lang could not get access to any of the German film studios while his project carried that tentative title, because the Nazis interpreted it as referring to them. (Confession at it's best).

Violence in film should be much like Hitchcock's take on cinematic sexuality: its power is in what is not disclosed. After the pornographic violence the likes of _Hostel_ or _Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning_, to quote Hitch: "where are we to go?" Lang's M is a masterpiece precisely because it makes its violence subjective, implicating the viewer through absence. So much horror today is purely objective, all on the screen. With M, we are forced to complete the unseen.

@necrodouch might also have a little bit to do with the fact that it was 1931 ... ! it was already controversial enough, if it actually showed the murders we probably wouldn't be watching it right now

Technically he was ethnically Jewish then. Ethnic "Jewishness" is traditionally considered passed from a mother to her children, at least according to my Jewish friends. He might not have practiced Judaism as a religion, but something tells me the Nazis likely wouldn't have cared, if he had been in Germany during implementation of the so-called "Final Solution".

@UnGatoExtraviado ¿La gente era más tonta en 1931? ¿En que te basas para afirmar esto? Si te refieres a, en general, el público del cinematógrafo, debemos recordar que el cine se crea tan solo 30 años antes de la película "M", que el cine sonoro apenas comienza a funcionar y ya Fritz Lang usa todos los recursos expresivos a su alcance para crear su película. Entiende -y el público también- que el uso de un leitmotif acústico crea tensión, anticipación y suspense. No debían ser tan tontos.
