December 5, 1890. Fritz Lang was born on this date in Vienna. He was a great film director. His classic
M, made in Germany and starring Peter Lorre as a serial child murderer, was one of the first film noir movies. His other classics include
Metropolis, The Big Heat, and
The Testament pf Dr. Mabuse. The last of these was banned in Nazi Germany, after which he got the hell out.
