Take that, 'Metropolis'!

[Monte Davis]

Just 'cause GR is rife with German expressionist film tropes and imagery,
we shouldn't forget that England's _Things to Come_ (1936, H.G. Wells
script, Raymond Massey) is also very much in the mix for the Raketenstadt
and Radiant Hour. As Crooked Timber sez, it's "the original Liberal Fascist
World War Z" - now restored in Blu-Ray!
