M - Eine Stadt sucht einen Morder Trivia - Did You Know?It’s generally agreed that M was critical in hastening Lang’s departure from Germany in 1934. The Nazis weren’t thrilled by the film’s original title, Murderers Among Us; they assumed it was about them. It was for that reason that Lang changed the title to "M", for murderer. Of course, in a sense they were correct. M is about much more than the landscape of an unbalanced mind. With its palpable air of dread and its direct indictment of mob mentality, the film draws with frightening precision the dark contours of Nazi groupthink. The Nazi party banned the film in 1934 and parts of the film were appropriated by the Nazis in their propaganda film "Der ewige Jude" (The Eternal Jew) contorting Peter Lorre's soulbaring performance for anti-Semitic ends.
