Fritz Lang (1890–1976) Filmmaker.

 Fritz Lang (photographed here in 1971) was born in Vienna, Austria-Hungary in 1890 and is regarded among the most influential filmmakers of the expressionist movement, which was building during the early 20th century, particularly in Berlin, Germany, where Lang worked before emigrating. He left Germany in 1933 for Paris before settling in the United States. Lang is best known for the groundbreaking Metropolis (1927) and M (1931). Once in Hollywood, he made substantial contributions to American genre cinema, specifically film noir.
