About Fritz Lang Epic Collection
SPIES follows the machinations of a wheelchair-bound master criminal, the great Haghi, as he dictates orders to his minions from his headquarters deep in the belly of the city. When Haghi sends forth agent Sonja to seduce and trick secret agent 236, Tremaine, the two unexpectedly fall in love. Haghi is enraged that they are endangering his plot to take over the world, while his minions square off against police and secret service, and attempt to steal a secret treaty. Many of the standard conventions of spy thrillers find their genesis in SPIES, including femme fatales, the crippled arch criminal and a last minute countdown to destruction.WOMAN IN THE MOON: Lang used a scenario by his then wife Thea von Harbou about a trip to the moon to continue his early investigations into science and technology. When scientist Manfeldt finally gets the chance to go to the moon and prove his theory of the existence of lunar gold deposits, he is disappointed to discover that he must travel with various strangers. They include Frieda and Hans--a newly wed couple, a scheming financier named Turner, Wolf Helius--the engineer in charge of the expedition, and Gustav--a young castaway. When the crew actually discovers gold in the lunar caverns, the greedy Turner faces off against the bewildered professor, and violence ensues. The human struggles with greed, jealousy and idealism are played out against a stunning backdrop of rockets and white lunar landscapes, and the tender moments between the protagonists are some of the most touching in any of Lang's oeuvre....
