El vampiro negro

Pleased to join my six IMDB colleagues below in praise of this very fine Argentinian remake of "M"...with a generous portion of "Third Man" and a dash of "Freaks" thrown in for good measure in that darkly magnificent, climactic scene. Is it better than Lang's original, as Eddie Muller intimated in his intro? Not sure, since it has been many a moonlit and moonless night since I have seen the German masterpiece and I would hesitate to place anyone above Peter Lorre in the tortured, oleaginous category (though Nathan Pinzon comes awfully close). But I will opine that the loss of this film's director, Ramon Vinoly Barretto, in his mid fifties was, in my opinion, quite tragic. Give it an A minus.
