"M" A City Searchers for a Murderer

M is a 1931 German mystery thriller film directed by Fritz Lang, starring Peter Lorre as Hans Beckert, a serial killer who targets children, in his third screen role. Both Lang's first sound film and an early example of a procedural drama, M centres on the efforts of both a city's police force and its criminal syndicates to apprehend a serial child-murderer.
The film features many cinematic innovations, including the use of long tracking shots and a musical leitmotif. Lang regarded the film as his magnus opus, and it is widely considered one of the greatest films of all time and an indispensable influence on modern crime and thriller fiction.
