From case cover:
At once an invaluable photographic record of life in Weimar Berlin and a timeless demonstration of the cinema's ability to enthrall on a purely visceral level, BERLIN, SYMPHONY OF A GREAT CITY (1927, 62 min.) offers a kaleidoscopic view of a single day in the life of the bustling metropolis.
