An unabridged republication of a book originally published in London in 1976. Lang (1890-1976) was an Austrian-born U. S. Film director. He found work at a movie studio in Berlin, where he later directed successful films such as Between Two Worlds (1921) , Dr. Mabuse (1922) , the two-part The Nibelungen (1924) , the expressionistic Metropolis (1926) , and M (1931) . After making the anti-Nazi film The Last Will of Dr. Mabuse (1933) , he left Germany for Paris and later Hollywood. His U. S. Films, which equal his German films in their intensity, pessimism, and visual mastery, include Fury (1936) , You Only Live Once (1937) , Ministry of Fear (1944) , Rancho Notorious (195 2) , and The Big Heat (1953) . Many of his films deal with fate and man's inevitable working out of his destiny.. ISBN: 0306802716 (Lang, Fritz)
