Metropolis, Moloch, Fredersen, Freder, and the Yoshiwara Foxtrot.
Second record was 10" and contained on the first side the Waltz (Of
the eternal garden), and on the second side the Fantastic dance/Dance
of death (Music heard when the Robot dances in Yoshiwara). The first
record was 12 "in size and contained on the first side a spoken
introduction by Fritz Lang (exact content unknown), and on the second

Freder, and the Yoshiwara Foxtrot. Second record was 10 "and contained

Looks like this print is complete. Nothing missing.

Nope, apparently the scene of the monk at the cathedral is still
missing, according to Martin Koerber, due to decomposition/damage
around the end of one of the reels before it was copied to 16mm. Oh
well, at least it's mostly complete now. |
