Author Topic: Metropolis (1927) - new restored version Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-19-2003 12:14 AM                        7 reels (on B&W acetate-base stock) flat/Academy 24fps with Dolby SR music track Kino International (US distributor) no depot (print shipped directly from another theatre) This print has the worst leaders ever. They are essentially clear and have no countdowns--only a "START" frame, which presumably corresponds with "PICTURE START" on a normal Academy countdown. On my print, someone had helpfully marked "X"es where the 8-foot mark would ordinarily be located. Edit: Mine was print #4. Supposedly there were 12 made in total, though one has been destroyed, leaving 11 in current circulation.

It has few splices here and there and missing frames at the head and tail of each reel, but it is generally decent.  |  IP: Logged
