Name the References and Allusions in Shadows and Fog


Definitely one of Woody's more underrated films--I put it up there with Manhattan Murder Mystery, maybe not quite reaching the status of Zelig, but coming close.

There are a ton of cinematic references here, can you name any others?
-Brecht's Die Dreigroschenoper and the film, The Threepenny Opera from G.W. Pabst
-Hitchcock's The Lodger
-German Expressionism, especially The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
