"M"

This film was not bad for being made in 1931 and having no music to progress the plot, except for the ominous whistling. I can't really say that I have seen any movie like it. My level of enjoyment that I get from watching movies is largely due to how good the soundtrack and/or themes are. So this just goes to show how good a job the director did in letting a lot of the images speak for themselves. Maybe it left more to the imagination. It is also pretty cool finding out that this was the first film to tie a musical theme to a character.
