METROPOLIS

Fritz Lang's 1927 Masterpiece

Tonight at 8 PM(EST) Turner Classic Movies is playing

the television premiere of the newly restored version of

METROPOLIS starring Rudolph Klein-Rogge and

the incredibly beautiful Brigitte Helm!

Though still incomplete (originally released at 204 minutes)

this print runs 147 minutes incorporating 25 minutes of

film that hasn't been seen in over 80 years!

I have been looking forward to this for a long time!

Following the film, TCM is premiering the documentary on

the restoration of METROPOLIS...if that isn't enough

it's followed by two other incredible films by Fritz Lang

SPIONE (1928) and M (1931)

It doesn't get any better than this!
