[yasmincassie]

imagine if music was added.... hmmmmm...

[Fozzymillow]

I didn't even notice there was no soundtrack. That's how good this movie is.

[georgieonmymind]

What is he wistling???

[DamnQuilty]

@georgieonmymind  In the hall of the mountain king . of Peer Gynt by Grieg. Based on a play by Munch.

I think thats right

[vladdesa]

I thought the only witness was Maria Budlick...

Why doesn't this movie have ANY music?? it's impossible to watch almost because of the lack of mood from the music. A soundtrack is trully one of the most important elements of filmmaking.

@LaSerpentaCanta

it is very common in Film Noir movies the lack of music to make each silence or each sound more present.

[NeverDoubt1]

@LaSerpentaCanta According to the DVD commentary, the scene with Peter Lorre in this clip is supposed to be almost like a camera observing an animal's activities from afar (particularly the part where he's behind the bushes and we can't quick see him). So that's one reason why music isn't appropriate there.

@LaSerpentaCanta

what music do u want? Dev?

Peter Lorre's whistling is music enough, and very haunting at that.

[LadyTigerLily]

The whistling is not Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, it's In the Hall of the Mountain King by Edvard Grieg.

[TitanYa315]

Whistling.... Peter and the Wolf by Sergei Prokofiev

[sashawonka]

His whistling is so scary. Great movie

[nowUhave]

M was originally intended to be entitled Murderers Among Us but Lang could not get access to any of the German film studios while his project carried that tentative title, because the Nazis interpreted it as referring to them.

(Confession at it's best).

[Pr1ceisright]

half way through this clip starts one of my favorite scenes in all of film.

[rapidreagans]

What is the German word for 'blind' ?

[KobeShowCL]

It's: "blind" (only pronounced differently)

[laitae]

Amazing scene when that blind man recognized whistling!
