High Lang-xiety

by Backthrow
Crime Bureau




Please pity child-murderer, "M"
From madness his actions all stem
As played by Pete Lorre
We hear his sad story
While underworld seeks to condemn


M is Fritz Lang's seminal silent crime film.

    Small girls should decline gift balloons
    From serial child-killing loons
    Soon marked with an "M"
    The man who slew them
    Is tried by a court of mad goons

    I dunno about M as Lang's seminal crime film - what about Dr Mabuse?

    You'll have to ask Backthrow about that. I like them both, as well as Langs American films.
