Pre-War German (37.5" x 55.75")
Very Fine Folded
Nero Film-AG, 1931

This is one of only two copies of this rare style German country-of-origin poster known to exist from the classic Fritz Lang crime drama. Due to its rarity, this unrestored poster is widely sought after.

This rare, folded German poster has a few pinholes on the top and some in the bottom areas, slight separation and tiny paper loss on center points, and some very minor staining in the background image area.

Director Fritz Lang took European darkness to American cinema and made a series of noir classics including The Big Heat, Scarlet Street, and Woman in the Window. Now seen as the precursor of the film noir genre, Lang's M made Peter Lorre a star. Based on a true story, Lorre portrays a child murderer pursued by the German police and the criminal underworld..

Estimate: $40,000 - 80,000
