Thoughts on M
-Fritz Lang's first talkie, Peter Lorre's first big non-comedic role, and the first film about a serial killer. What I'm saying is, it gets a lot of shit done.
-Fritz Lang has the worst luck, though. I mean, the Nazis loved his movies, and he hated their guts. Poor bastard.
-Anyway. This might be the first classic foreign film I've ever watched entirely without getting up to harass someone. It's that enthralling.

I love this movie. It's like, shockingly good.
One of the best, if not the first cases where sound in film supported the suspense and thrills.
No mention of whistling?
Alex: Nothing shocking about the goodness, my dear.
Movie Reviews: For other examples?
Vancetastic: You just mentioned the whistling. Mission accomplished.
Enthralling indeed. I was pleasantly surprised.
I found the movie kinda dated, although I did appreciate that the police procedural section of the film was truthful.
