WOMAN IN THE MOON is director Fritz Lang's film of space travel. And being made in the late 1920's, the special effects are in deed special. A professor(Klaus Pohl)is certain that there is gold on the moon and is convincing enough that an extraterrestrial journey is organized. It is uncanny that there is a countdown before the rocket's lift-off and that the passengers deal with weightlessness aboard the rocket. It is said that the depiction of the rocket in the film made a big impression on one Adolf Hitler. Renewed interest in this subtitled film came to light when excerpts were used in a 1960 TV documentary titled The Race for Space. It is a shame for any science fiction freak to not see and enjoy this.
