Friedrich Christian Anton " Fritz " Lang ( December 5, 1890 – August 2, 1976 ) was an Austrian-American filmmaker, screenwriter, and occasional film producer and actor.

Lang was born in Vienna as the second son of Anton Lang ( 1860 – 1940 ), an architect and construction company manager, and his wife Pauline " Paula " Lang née Schlesinger ( 1864 – 1920 ).

Fritz Lang himself was baptized on 28 December 1890 at the Schottenkirche in Vienna.

At the outbreak of World War I, Lang returned to Vienna and volunteered for military service in the Austrian army and fought in Russia and Romania, where he was wounded three times.

His writing stint was brief, as Lang soon started to work as a director at the German film studio Ufa, and later Nero-Film, just as the Expressionist movement was building.

She and Lang co-wrote all of his movies from 1921 through 1933, including 1922's Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler ( Dr. Mabuse the Gambler ), which ran for over four hours in two parts in the original version and was the first in the Dr. Mabuse trilogy, 1924's five-hour Die Nibelungen, the famous 1927 film Metropolis, and the 1931 classic, M, his first " talking " picture.

Lang epitomized the stereotype of the tyrannical German film director such as Erich von Stroheim and Otto Preminger ; he was known for being hard to work with.

Whereas Lang was worried about the advent of the Nazi regime, partly because of his Jewish heritage, his wife and screen writer Thea von Harbou had started to sympathize with the Nazis in the early 1930s and joined the NSDAP in 1932.

According to Lang, propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels called Lang to his offices to inform him that The Testament of Dr Mabuse was being banned but that he was nevertheless so impressed by Lang's abilities as a filmmaker ( especially Metropolis ), he was offering Lang a position as the head of German film studio UFA.

Lang had stated that it was during this meeting that he had decided to leave for Paris-but that the banks had closed by the time the meeting was over.

In this first phase of his career, Lang alternated between art films such as Der Müde Tod (" The Weary Death ") and popular thrillers such as Die Spinnen (" The Spiders "), combining popular genres with Expressionist techniques to create an unprecedented synthesis of popular entertainment with art cinema.

In 1931, after Woman in the Moon, Lang directed what many film scholars consider to be his masterpiece: M, a disturbing story of a child murderer ( Peter Lorre in his first starring role ) who is hunted down and brought to rough justice by Berlin's criminal underworld.
