Triple Feature!

M (1931) / M (1951) / EL VAMPIRO NEGRO

Presented by the American Cinematheque and the Film Noir Foundation

M (1931)

1931, Janus Films, 99 min, Germany, Dir: Fritz Lang

Peter Lorre is unforgettable as serial killer Hans Beckert, preying on children and whistling “In the Hall of the Mountain King” as he works. When the ensuing police crackdown proves bad for criminal business, all of Berlin’s underworld joins the manhunt for Beckert. This classic crime thriller was Fritz Lang’s first sound film, as well as the director’s personal favorite.

Trailer

35 mm!

M (1951)

1951, Superior Pictures, 91 min, USA, Dir: Joseph Losey

The Hollywood version of Lang’s 1931 classic, about a child murderer simultaneously hunted by police and criminals, trades Berlin’s streets for those of L.A.’s Bunker Hill circa 1950. David Wayne gives a heart-rending performance as the killer, supported by a veritable character actor’s Hall of Fame: Howard Da Silva, Luther Adler, Steve Brodie, Raymond Burr, Norman Lloyd, Walter Burke and Jim Backus. Featuring a nerve-wracking and brilliantly filmed climax inside the famed Bradbury Building!

New DCP Restoration!

Will her daughter be the next victim? Featuring stunning cinematography by Aníbal González Paz. A major cinema discovery presented in a new DCP Restoration!
