    The soundtrack to the Quick Draw McGraw clip (or “Queeks Draw” per sidekick Baba Louie) has been intertwined with the Peter Lorre monologue in Fritz Lang’s brilliant 1932 “M”, in which Lorre confesses to the compulsion of mudering the same small children who would have comprised Quick Draw’s diurnal audience. The translated subtitles reveal Lorre’s tortured anguish as the cartoon’s musical score follows the action of Quick Draw’s adventures on the train.
    Whoever the mixer/subtitler was had a particularly rich sense of contrapuntal humor.
