Behind the Scenes of a Classic

Brigitte Helm cooling off on the set of Fritz Lang's ''Metropolis''  in 1927. Great photo! See the bottom of the sidebar on the right for my hat tip to the film. 


























If you have never seen the film, which is in black and white, here are some colorized excerpts from Rumble Dog Pictures on YouTube. What a powerful film for 1927!

Good Night Oppy

 Count me in for Good Night Oppy!

The documentary film from Prime Video follows Opportunity, the Mars Exploration Rover affectionately dubbed Oppy by her creators and scientists at NASA. Oppy was originally expected to live for only 90 days but she ultimately explored Mars for nearly 15 years.
