M is an experimental film from Finnish singer Anna Eriksson, who also stars:
It’s kind of fun to read the reviews of this film and see the reviewers struggle to find euphemisms for “total gibberish.” In theory, it is a film about Marilyn Monroe, but it approaches the subject through surrealism. Particularly distracting is the fact that all of the “Hollywood” characters can’t really produce any sounds like the English of a native speaker, although they try with hilarious effect. It sounds like Borat did all the voices. One reviewer commented: “As the oddities keep on mounting, the only thing missing is another Red Room and a dwarf talking backwards.”
There is also nudity in the trailer:
So sounds like the Peter Lorre original was better.
Perhaps, but Anna Eriksson probably looked a lot better naked.
Of course, this is just hypothetical. Perhaps ol’ Ugarte had a bitchin’ bod.
