A 1929 British Sci-Fi movie predicting the rise of World War II! However 1940 looks completely different then what it would. Almost how the 1950s dreamed how the year 2000 would look like. This is pretty cool with Benita Hume as the object of desire. I only saw the silent version, but if the talking is as awkward as I've seen other mention, then perhaps the silent film might be the best to watch. That way it comes across almost like a mini-Metropolis.
