Metropolis is licensed to Kino. I don't believe the original 1927 MGM release still exists. (A version, by the way, that Fritz Lang really hated.) Most of the old versions date from the postwar prints that the US Government took from Germany after WWII.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
