Essential Cinema  The Eyes of Peter Lorre

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

Peter Lorre gives a performance that Pauline Kael describes as “touched by genius” in Fritz Lang’s stomach-clenching thriller about a child murderer who is pursued simultaneously by police and by an ad hoc vigilante force. One of the greatest films ever made, anchored by one of the greatest actors ever, our man Peter Lorre. In 35mm.
