SinisterSilence, I have the original tape as well as a transfer of it on DVD. Not sure if the tape is better than what's been posted here, maybe even a bit blurrier. But I can try to make a copy to send you.
Interesting thread. Help me out a bit though. Was there a score played along with the movie when it came out?
Thanks! I am surprised that the original has not been redone by someone to go with this classic. Or has it?
I picked up a VHS copy from 1990 a few months back. I shall pop it in tomorrow and see what that score sounds like.
Just found out my amazing VHS copy has NO score!
There was also a 1991 Image release of a "so called" Restored version. I don't know if a VHS video cassette was released, but I do know that a 12 inch laserdisc was. I still have it, and I'm looking at it right now. This version had an organ score by Timothy Howard. Then Image released a DVD with two scores - one organ and the other was by The Silent Orchestra in 5.1. Another audio track contained a commentary by Locke Heiss.When I first saw the clip at the beginning of this thread; I though it was from the Republic version. It was straight black and white, with no tints. Republic Pictures released a 12 inch laserdisc of it in the early 1990s. The opening credits look as though they are from the same print. I did have this version on laserdisc, but immediately sold it as the film only ran 60 minutes, and the projection speed varied greatly through out. The score was not a synthesized one. It was a generic orchestral track. That was another reason to get rid of it. The Silent films that were released on the Republic laserdiscs were from the Paul Killian collection. They were inferior to the Blackhawk versions released by Image. Now, the Image versions are inferior as compared to the Kino Video versions. It's interesting just how many versions of this film have surfaced for one that was NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO EXIST ANYMORE! P.S. I do remember that version of Metropolis that was broadcast on PBS. I lived in California at the time. I don't remember the name of the composer, but the name was German. It was an awesome track to accompany the film. It was obvious that electronic keyboards were used for that one too.
So surprised no one here brought up the infamous Kartes Video Communications release, which featured a 1974 Thunderbird Films Print and a score compiled of 50's horror movie stock music.
