Just
watched Fritz Lang's 'Spies' silent film from 1928 on a 8mm reel. It's the
story of a mastermind behind a ubiquitous spy operation learns of a
dangerous romance between a Russian lady in his employ and an
agent from the government’s secret service. Fritz is an Austrian filmmaker,
nick named as master of darkness, and whom most of his film reels are lost and
banished unfortunately.
Watching this gives an aura of the time where
horrendous events take place and the spy, later the clown could signify the
time where Hitler was raised and the circumstances leading to it.
(December 5, 1890 – August 2, 1976, also the maker of Metropolis!)
