What is M about?

Born October 21, 1884, Halberstadt (Germany) Died February 18, 1973, London Hampstead (England) The director of numerous box office hits during the 1910s and '20s, Mack's significance was long overlooked within German cinema history due to his inconspicuous, workmanlike style. The son of a synagogue cantor, Myrthenzweig adopted the name Max Mack while working as an actor with travelling theatre groups from 1902. He joined Max Reinhardt's ensemble as a stand-in in 1907, and thereafter specialised in Oriental characters, although he also gained acclaim playing Amandus in Max Halbe's 'Jugend' (Youth). Mack made his screen acting debut in 1910, but swiftly moved into scriptwriting and directing, turning out a two-reeler every fortnight. The success of his pictures lay in no small part in their sophisticated advertising campaigns, something that could also be said of his groundbreaking DER ANDERE (The Other, 1912/13), which was asserted to have rendered cinema-going culturally respectable, since it was scripted by respected playwright Paul Lindau and starred theatrical luminary Albert Bassermann.
