A Murderer is Among Us should have been the title of this masterpiece of German expressionism by one of the most avant-garde and innovative directors, Fritz Lang, who, to avoid offending Hitler's rising National Socialist Party in 1931, was forced to change the title to M (M as in Mörder, murderer), the Monster of Düsseldorf.
