Berlin, Symphony of a Great City (1928): An impressionistic view of life in Berlin. Most of the film was shot using cameras concealed in vans and suitcases to get realistic effects. Many of the sequences are metaphorical: the crowds and cattle, the legs of dancers, two pairs of legs going to a hotel, a montage of legs, a sleeping man compared to an elephant, people going to work, children to school, businessmen eating in fine restaurants, workmen eating out of paper bags.

Berlin, Symphony of a Great City (1928): This short wordless travelogue is an early experiment into color film. Featuring scenes of Berlin to the sound of Ravel's La Valse, producers were hoping to improve on the success of Al Jolson's 1927 talkie The Jazz Singer by using music and a fledgling colorizing technology. While the process did not stand the test of time and indeed corroded portions of the original film, the remaining sections reveal a lively city in action.

Berlin, Symphony of a Great City (1928): Forced by Irving Berlin's agent to put his name at the beginning of their title, producers are plagued by misconceptions that their symphony is about a German city.

Berlin, Symphony of a Great City (1928): Two poor American songwriters desire so much to see the world that they sell all they have to buy tickets for Europe. They are welcomed in Berlin by a motley crew of gamblers, prostitutes and vagabonds and they get the inspiration they seek. Suffering from lack of food, strange visions inspire the writers.

Berlin, Symphony of a Great City (1928): This travelogue from 1928 is a priceless record of vanished treasures from another time. The so-called symphony itself, however, is in actuality performed by a jazz quartet and will disappoint viewers hoping for an orchestral score.

Berlin, Symphony of a Great City (1928): An early Nazi propaganda film focusing on high society in Berlin at the tail end of the roaring 20's. The film is infamous for a rare, almost split-second appearance by a very young Eva Braun working as a cocktail waitress. It is rumoured that she in fact first met Adolf Hitler the very night that her appearance was filmed.
