RARE METROPOLIS MAGAZINE


Despite critical reviews upon its release, Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS (UFA, 1927) stands as one of the most influential science-fiction films of all time. The ambitious project utilized some magnificent sets and special effects that are still respected by filmmakers today, and Maria, the Maschinenmensch robot will forever be a visual icon of imaginative movie-making.

Now considered rare, a promotional "programme" was printed by the film's distributors, Wardour Films Ltd. when METROPOLIS premiered at London's Marble Arch Pavilion on 21 March 1927.

A copy of the German-language edition of this magazine is currently up for pre-auction preview at Heritage Auctions, Dallas, TX, and is expected to earn $800 - $1,600.
