Here's a classic to look forward to

Key scenes of Metropolis found
They found a complete director's cut of the Fritz Lang classic in Buenos Aires. I hope they'll be able to restore it all.
I'm amazed that it's still there at all, I thought the material used for films those days didn't actually have that long a natural lifespan, even when just sitting on a shelf for over half a century.
Thanks to ffutures for the link.

Buenos Aires is extremely hot and humid (I still feel awful at the memory), which doesn't sound like ideal conditions for making anything last.
