They talk about Marlon Brando and James Dean - this actor showed those guys the way.

Edward G. Robinson's performance , now thats serious acting! A masterclass of showing emotions, anger, revenge, being wronged, madness, all right there in one short take!

"M" had come out the year before, and it looks to me like Robinson and Mervyn LeRoy had been greatly influenced by Peter Lorre's soliloquy in the trial sequence.
