In Reply to: Lang was invited to head the Nazi propanganda film studio posted by grinagog on July 11, 2005 at 10:27:05:
From the early 1920's his most extravagant productions, Die Nibelungen, Metropolis, Spies, Woman in The Moon, etc., were the shared visions of Thea von Harbou & Fritz Lang. Indead, von Harbou novelized several of these seminal works around the time that the films were released; apparently they were best sellers in Europe.This shouldn't take away from the brilliance of Lang's early work or suggest that Thea von Harbou's eventual membership in the Nazi Party should obscure or detract from the groundbreaking accomlishments of either artist, but awareness of the history and ideologies involved are relevent to understanding the cultural themes highlighted in these great films.

- Many of those themes were co-authored by Thea von Harbou, Lang's wife at the time, and she did join the Nazi Party. - Audiophilander 11:42:15 07/11/05 (0)
