Savant uncovers the true, hidden ending to this Fritz Lang masterpiece. The moral outrage of Lang's searing attack on lynch terror hasn't dimmed a bit -- with his first American picture the director nails one of our primary social evils. MGM imposed some re-cutting and re-shooting, but it's still the most emotionally powerful film on the subject.

Have you ever had one of those moments where you recall a scene from a movie you saw as a child but can’t remember what movie the scene came from? It’s just a splinter in your brain of a single scene or image from decades ago, the larger movie or context completely forgotten. I had one of these for many years. I could only remember an image of a woman reclining on a stone wall in front of a giant skull mask. This haunted me for years. Finally, one day while combing through the film section of a bookstore in New York, I found the fantastic book Re/Search: Incredibly Strange Films, which featured this very image on the front cover. A quick check on the index proved this longtime brain splinter of mine was in fact The Mask from 1961. The Mask is a 1961 Canadian 3D film directed by Julian Roffman.
