OLDIE GOLDIES: Metropolis (1927)

This week on Oldie Goldies, I highlight a great film of the silent era - Metropolis. Released in 1927, this thematically rich film features impressive special effects and art direction, especially considering the technology available at the time. The film certainly influenced many of the sci-fi movies that followed.
