Can it be?? Metropolis Found!
A German magazine reports that the full length original version of Metropolis has been found in Argentina, where it was sent in 1928 for its original theatrical run there. The Museo del Cine has now returned the film to Germany for restoration.

This seems almost too good to be true!

Yay! This is AWESOME!
