1927
Fritz Lang, Thea von HarbouEditor's note: My most-viewed item on the Internet Archive, but the one I’m least invested in and have litle to say. I like the movie. I saw it once, in college! I came across this magazine and thought it should be preserved and made more accessible online, so here it is, thanks to the public domain.
Writing on the making of the movie Metropolis, photocollages, and behind-the-scenes views.
