    Jessica –

    One of the all-time greats. It just works – like on a forensic level, the fingerprints and handwriting analysis – and the emotional level – the panic, and fear – but also Peter Lorre’s performance. And everyone!

    That ball rolling out of the bushes …

    God. In the context of the movie it is so unbelievably violent, isn’t it?? But that’s all you see.

    Lynnan – This all should be fun here.

    Jessica R already guessed it.

    It’s from Frtiz Lang’s “M”.
