Description
Summary:	Spies: The first "modern" spy film. A power-hungry banker with many disguises marshals his forces to steal the secrets of an important treaty. M: Perhaps the greatest example of German expressionism on the screen. Drama, social commentary, satire and an anatomy of a crime are some of the elements of this dark masterpiece. Peter Lorre plays a psychopathic killer of children who successfully evades police but is eventually confronted by the code of the underworld.
