    Are you thinking of Seigfried? It and part of its companion film, Kremhild's Revenge (collectively known as Die Neibelungen), are based on characters in Wagner's Ring cycle of music dramaa. They were diected by Fritz Lang and are from 1914. The battle scene with the dragon in Sigfreid is still considered a masterpiece and in the early days of laserdisc I showed it many times to family and friends, to everyone's delight.

    • I think you meant 1924, and I agree! BTW, the Die Nibelungen set is also available from Kino. - Audiophilander 00:32:54 11/18/03 (0)

      The restoration isn't too bad (i.e., IMHO, no where near the quality of the Metropolis restoration, but good, nonetheless) and with the additional footage the combined films are 100 minutes longer than any version released in the U.S. before; very close to the original release's length!
