M is a 1931 German film directed by Fritz Lang and written by Lang and his wife Thea von Harbou. It was Lang's first sound film, although he had directed over a dozen films previously including Metropolis. Over the years the film has become a defining classic that rivals Lang's other works for the title of magnum opus. Lang himself maintained that this film was his finest work. blank">https://securesite.chireader.com/cgi-bin/Archive/abridged2.bat?path=1997/970808/M&search=Mabuse%20Rosenbaum The lead, _Peter Lorre, was typecast for years after the film's release as a villain for his portrayal of a child murderer. M also pioneered the use of leitmotif to give the film score a more intense feel.
M is a 1951 remake of Fritz Lang's M, shifting the action from Berlin to Los Angeles. The remake, directed by Joseph Losey with David Wayne playing Peter Lorre's role, was not well received by critics or audiences. It is rarely seen today.
Most of the film was shot on location in the now demolished Los Angeles slum neighborhood of Bunker Hill.
