METROPOLIS

Lobby Card (11" x 14")
Good on Paper
Paramount, 1927

The first U.S. release materials for this title are so rare that not a single one of the eight lobby cards that make up the complete set has surfaced within the collector community. This is a wonderful card from that set.

The graphic borders have been expertly replaced, though the scene image area is original and unmarred. The resulting card presents beautifully.

The silent science-fiction classic directed by German Expressionist Fritz Lang is a ground-breaking and deeply influential film. It portrays a futuristic city divided between affluent elites and exploited workers, featuring a robotic incarnation of the heroine Maria (played by Brigitte Helm), which has become one of the most iconic images in cinema.
