: I bought a dvd of a film called THE SPIDERS today....because it was directed by Fritz Lang (whose films I am a total sucker for) in 1919.
: The liner notes, among other things, discuss how this film was thought to have been lost.
: Anyway, the rest of the notes go on to describe that this is the first two parts of what was intended to be a four movie "serial", and that Lang had passed on the opportunity to direct THE CABINET OF DR CALIGARI to make these films.
: Then it goes on to describe the films' plot.....TOTALLY an Indy-esque type of film!!
: My plea to Michaelson is : Do you know any more about this movie? I have scoured the net, but could only find about what the liner notes give.
: And if anyone is interested, I may transcribe the liner notes tomorrow night while here at work.....
: I can't wait to get home in the morning so I can watch this thing!!
: Later all,
