Greetings. Concerning Lang's "M" (1931), (1) I have recently read that "M" was the first film to use voice-over narration, a narrator. Does this gibe with others' (your) info? (2) In the longer, digitized video version of "M," in the "trial" scene at film's end, several references are made to "Paragraph 51" --- one infers this may be a German statute of the time permitting perpetual psychiatric hospitalization rather than execution for murder, but I'd like to know a little more clearly what is "Paragraph 51"? Many thanks for any help, Bet MacArthur MSW Cambridge MA (617) 499 9490 ---- Screen-L is sponsored by the Telecommunication & Film Dept., the University of Alabama.
