Review of Metropolis (1927) by David Sterritt for Christian Science Monitor — 16 Oct 1966
Metropolis has a place in world history as well as in the annals of fantasy. Adolf Hitler was said to have loved it, and Lang eventually fled Germany for Hollywood when the Third Reich wanted him to run its movie industry.
Few movies of any era offer so much varied food for thought, cinematically and politically. Its new restoration is a major motion-picture event.
