Metropolis Facts
In some international versions, in the credits Heinrich George is mistaken for Fritz Rasp.
Film included more than 37,000 extras including 25,000 men, 11,000 women, 1,100 bald men, 750 children, 100 dark-skinned people and 25 Asians.
This was the first film ever to be registered in the "Memory of the World-Register" of the UNESCO in 2001.
Included among the '1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die', edited by Steven Jay Schneider.
The connection of this film to the Nazi regime is quite remarkable. 'Thea Von Harbou', who was Fritz Lang's wife, was an ardent and early supporter of the party. Not only Adolf Hitler, but all the inner circle were entranced by the film and considered it as a sort of social blueprint. Lang, of course, was Jewish but the leader offered him a pass for this. Very rare in Nazi Germany. He fled to America.
