..In everything that can be called art there is a quality of redemption.It may be pure tragedy, if it is high ragedy, and it may be pity and irony, and it may be the raucous laughter of the strong man.The main character, Freder (Gustav Frohlich), he young, pampered, (motherless) son of a ruling, aristocratic capitalist - the autocratic master of Metropolis, is introduced as he plays hide-and-seek with the ladies.At he Coronet when he sees his client again, she is wearing a striped robe (in her room heavily striped by venetian blind shadows).When Freddie kicked Myers through a second-story window, the killer was suspended in mid-air and dangled there by the cord wrapped tightly around his neck.
