Description
"The actor became much better known after director Fritz Lang cast him as child killer Hans Beckert in M (1931), a film reputedly derived from the Peter K�rten case. Lang said that he had Lorre in mind while working on the script and did not give him a screen test because he was already convinced that Lorre was perfect for the part. He believed that the actor gave his best performance in M and that it was among the most distinguished in film history Sharon Packer observed that Lorre played the loner, [and] schizotypal murderer, with raspy voice, bulging eyes, and emotive acting (a holdover from the silent screen) [which] always make him memorable."
