Sommario/riassunto

The name of Fritz Lang - the visionary director of 'Metropolis', 'M', 'Fury', 'The Big Heat', and thirty other unforgettable films - is hallowed the world over. But what lurks behind his greatest legends and his genius as a filmmaker? This book includes the results of many years of research in government and film archives, and investigations of the intriguing life story of Fritz Lang. This biography reconstructs the compelling, flawed human being behind the monster with the monocle.
