“Breathtaking...the best of all serial-killer movies.”—Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Fritz Lang’s gripping account of a police manhunt remains one of the cinema’s most profound visions of crime and its impact on society. Peter Lorre delivers an unforgettable performance as the child-murderer caught between the machinery of the law and the machinations of the criminal underworld. (MR) Screened in 2013 as part of Public Enemies: The Gangster/Crime Film with Lecturer Laurence Knapp.
