The Germans got it right... Again?

So I'm watching this movie "M," an old German film from 1931 for a class in college. I'm watching it on my laptop (while stoned), and this fantastic image appears on my screen. Now I'm not one to praise those smelly, dirty, ugly Krauts, but this image literally blew my pants off. Or maybe that was because I took them off to fap furiously... Anyway, I will never smoke a blunt with my fingers again.
