SECTION 8 ONLY of the New York Times, March 6, 1927

* Considered the very first full-length science fiction film

* "Metropolis" - German director Fritz Lang


Page 6 has a 7 by 4 inch advertisement for the film "Metropolis" on it's opening in America. Page 7 has an opening day review headed: "An Impression Of the German Film 'Metropolis" as well as a related photo. (see) This movie first appeared in New York City one week prior to the rest of the country making this an extremely rare item.
