Blu-ray Review Double Feature – Two by Fritz Lang – Warner Archive

Warner Archive has released a new double feature for me (which is much better than the last one) by director Fritz Lang. Lang is one of the directors which shows up very early in a cinephiles experience with his silent Metropolis, I film I somehow convinced my wife to see it in a theater, and she still married me. She liked it fine, she would really enjoy these two films.
