".. society has been divided into two rigid castes: one of planners, who live above the earth in wealth, and another of workers who live underground in poverty. One of the workers ventures below ground and is astonished by what she sees" -- Shouldn't this read either "One of the workers ventures above ground" or "One of the planners ventures below ground"?

Also suggest we change "planners" to "managers".

Why is called 1927 movie when the premier was in 1926? --zeno 07:19 Jan 14, 2003 (UTC)

Because the premiere was in 1927, not 1926. --Brion 07:42 Jan 14, 2003 (UTC)

Interesting note -- I saw Metropolis last year in Los Angeles at the Silent Movie Theater. They brought in the original organist that played at the film's US premiere in the 1920s. I wish I could remember the guy's name, so we could put it here. Anyone have any idea? Chadloder 06:38 Jan 24, 2003 (UTC)

No idea, but you could probably call the theater up and ask. I bet they got records. (Incidentally, they have the most text-unfriendly website I have had the mispleasure of encountering on a ssslllooowww modem connection. On the other hand, they do put on a nice picture show!) --Brion 06:55 Jan 24, 2003 (UTC)
