A very moving, romantic movie!

Apropos this thread, and to quote Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth, "Good news, everybody!":

"The First Ever Gynoid Is Now Complete At Last!

The science fiction movie Holy Grail has appeared: the missing sections of Fritz Lang's Metropolis turned up in Buenos Aires. We can finally see what the classic gynoid-led worker uprising movie is really about. Up to a quarter of the movie has been missing since it was butchered for its early screenings in 1927, leaving huge gaps in the movie's storyline and logical jumps that make no sense.

The Museo del Cine Pablo C. Ducros Hicken in Buenos Aires found the 16 mm negatives, which include the character of Georgy in his "reduced" state, a character named Slim and his transformation into an apocalypse-preaching monk, and a car journey through the city of Metropolis. Just in time for the no-doubt-ridiculous remake to start work, we can finally see what the original Metropolis was about. A lot of stuff that made no sense in the edited version now actually makes sense. The only question is, will Giorgio "Love To Love You Baby" Moroder write a new score for the missing parts, to go with the score he already wrote in 1984? [Murnau-Sifting, thanks tynansanger]"

Cheers,
Marc

...

Wheeee!!

Would be great to both have a 'straight' version and a Moroder version, but let's see what will happen. It might take years until it is restored and (hopefully) published on DVD.

That IS good news!! Now, if they could just find a print -- a complete print -- of "London After Midnight."

Has anybody ever seen the 'Lone Wolf' movies with Warren William I recently watched them on TCM and they were pretty good.

Warren William played Perry Mason a few times in the 30's. I like him, he adds some humor to his characters.

I also watched some Boston Blackie movies with Chester Morris. Not too bad either, a bit corny at times but okay.

One good thing about these old movies; the acting was usually pretty good. Although sometimes you can't say that about the plot

No, I never heard of those movies. I did watch "The Awful Truth" last night ... I think that was one of the recommendations from someone here. It was cute ... but there were a few things that just made me shake my head ... you know ... giant plot holes or absences of logic.

I think I prefer the Cary Grant / Irene Dunne pairing in "My Favorite Wife."

I may just check out William Warren on IMDB and see if some of his films are available.

Hi!

I made a boo boo!!

The actor's name is Warren William not William Warren. I was wondering if his movies were available too and I discovered my error.

Sorry!

Oh ... that's ok .... I'm certain the phrase "Lone Wolf" would have brought up something.
