Henry Ford, Superlord!

A short film news bit from the Washington Post. Published on February 6, 1927:

In the new German film, "Metropolis," there is a superlord of a great industrial realm—a supposed picture of the world 100 years from now. He is the master and labor emperor of the working classes who toil, chained to their machines, in a vast underground, while in the airy city above—built high into the heavens, live the upper classes. This was all explained last week, but we did not at that time know (the film having not been released in Berlin) that the superlord had a striking resemblance to Henry Ford. This may or may not be an over-seas thrust at Ford. But if so, it surely comes from the wrong angle.

Maybe it's just me. But this cracked me up!
