Corrected entry: When Fredersen visits Rotwang to ask about the secret plans found on the dead workers, he looks at his watch and it is plainly a normal 12-hour timepiece whereas the futuristic city uses 10 hour clocks. This shot is from the 2004 restored version on DVD and is missing from the 1984 Giorgio Moroder version and possibly others.
Metropolis (1927)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Fritz Lang
Starring: Alfred Abel, Brigitte Helm, Fritz Rasp, Gustav Frohlich, Rudolf Klein-Rogge
Factual error: An intertitle has a spelling error in the Kino DVD. The name "Freder" is misspelled as "Feder". This occurs in chapter 19, time 00:59:04 to 00:59:12. (00:59:05)
Maria: Head and hands need a mediator. THE mediator between head and hands must be THE heart.
Worker #1: But where is our mediator, Maria -?
Maria: Wait for him! He will surely come.
Worker #2: We will wait, Maria...! But not much longer - - .
Trivia: The film features an absolutely massive cast, including 750 bit players, 26,000 male extras, 11,000 female extras, and 750 children.
Correction: The 10-hour clock in question represents a time clock that measures the duration of the workday/shifts (when the hands reach 10, the shifts change). It is not the time of day. A couple of times in the film, we see both normal 12-hour and 24-hour clocks.
