Description

Rare document from Metropolis director and film noir revolutionary

Esteemed German-American film director (1890–1976) who helmed such classics as Fury, and the landmark science-fiction epic Metropolis. DS, one page, 8.5 x 11, January 12, 1969. Directors Guild of America income filing, with Lang stating no earnings for 1968 and estimating his earnings for 1969 as none, as the “retired” box has been selected in the bottom portion of the document. In fine condition, with an office stamp to left side and a couple ink notations. Although not realized in his lifetime, Lang was heralded as playing an integral part in the evolution of American cinema, while helping to establish the fundamental characteristics of film noir weaving threads of psychology, paranoia, fate, conflict and moral ambiguity through his works.
