Friedrich Anton Christian Lang (December 5, 1890August 2, 1976) was an Austrian-American film director, screenwriter and occasional film producer, one of the best known émigrés from Germany's school of expressionism. His most famous films are the groundbreaking Metropolis (the world's most expensive silent film at the time of its release) and M, made before he moved to the United States.

Early life and career


Friedrich Lang was born in Vienna, in the former Austria-Hungary, to Anton Lang (August 1, 18601940), an architect and construction company manager, and Pauline "Paula" Schlesinger (July 26, 18641920) on December 5, 1890. He was the second of two sons (his brother Adolf was nearly seven years older). Both his father and his mother were practicing Roman Catholics, although his mother was born Jewish and only converted to Catholicism when Fritz was ten.* Lang himself was baptized at the Schottenkirche in Vienna.

Watched Fritz Lang's The Woman in the Window. Very entertaining noir where things keep spiraling out of control for the heroes.
