MURDER IS UNIVERSAL...?
A 1953 Argentinian remake of Fritz Lang's M from director Roman Vinoly Barreto. Following the plotine of the original very closely w/some subtle changes, making the child murderer a English language tutor, who is glimpsed by a nightclub entertainer from her dressing room window after we learn later a murder was committed there. A prosecutor & the police are desperate to catch him going through extreme lengths (catching any & all possible suspects & giving them the third degree) but as the criminals fear their own well being & the populace itself (particularly the homeless) are onto to the Black Vampire, he takes the entertainer's daughter hostage in a desperate bid to survive w/the final reel of him being chased, caught & brought to trial. As worthy as the original & even the 1951 American remake, this south of the border version was done w/such style & taste, you would think this film could be made in different countries & languages w/similar results.
