M is a 1951 American film noir directed by Joseph Losey. It is a remake of Fritz Lang's 1931 German film of the same title about a child murderer. This version shifts the location of action from Berlin to Los Angeles and changes the killer's name from Hans Beckert to Martin W. Harrow. Both versions of M were produced by Seymour Nebenzal, whose son, Harold, was associate producer of the 1951 version.[1]

The 1951 film stars David Wayne, Howard da Silva, Luther Adler and Martin Gabel. ADD[2][3]

The film was restored in 2015, with Harold Nebenzal as Executive Producer of the restoration.
