Fritz Lang filmography
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fritz Lang (1890–1976) was an Austrian film director, producer and screenwriter. In his early career, Lang worked primarily as a screenwriter, finishing film scripts in four to five days.[1] Lang directed major German films of the silent and early sound eras including Metropolis (1927) and M (1931) respectively.[2][3] After fleeing from the Nazi regime, Lang directed some of the most important American crime and film noir motion pictures of the studio era, such as The Big Heat (1953). Lang appeared as himself in Jean-Luc Godard's Contempt (Le Mépris, 1963).
