German American director Fritz Lang presents his first "talkie"--and cinema's first serial killer--in this 1931 classic whose central villain was later used in Nazi propaganda films to illustrate the evils of sexual deviance.
Propelled by a compulsion he can't control, plump pedophile Hans Becker (Peter Lorre in a winning performance), escapes the eye of the law--but not the wrath of the Berlin underworld being blamed for his crimes. Otto Wernicke co-stars.
