This week's From Hitler to Hollywood film was Fritz Lang's "The Big Heat" (1953). Lang was a powerhouse of a screenwriter and director between the 1920s through late 50s. His works range from romantic noirs to psychological thrillers, inspired by the German Expressionist movement of the early 20th century.

Nicknamed "Master of Darkness" by the British Film Institute, Fritz Lang (Austrian) created films such as Metropolis (1927), Fury (1936), The Woman in the Window (1944), and so much more worth noting.

Critics in the 20th century have found Lang's films unsuitable for enjoyment; despite this, his works thrived in America. "The Big Heat" was certainly a favorite of American audiences. 

Thank you to everyone who joined us this week at The Last Picture House. We hope you found Lang's work suitable for enjoyment. Join us next week for "Shanghai Express" starring Marlene Dietrich and Anna May Wong.
