I told you not to LOOK for a naked lady. Did you see all theI'm not going to watch it carefully and often enough
expressions on the lecherous men?

The point, I think, is that she was supposed to have been demonic.
Succubus maybe. Sirenic. Men went berserk for her. The 1927 version
of berserk.

She is the great whore of Babylon... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whore_of_Babylon
And the director displays a page from an old illustrated German
bible showing her (at 3:05 in the video, with an enlargement at
3:12) looking very much like the actress in the film. (I don't
know if Lang modeled her on that picture, or if they made a
fake page of a German bible to look like his actress.)
She is described (in the Bible) as "Mystery, Babylon the Great,
the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth".
The wiki article is very good, and, imo, clearly describes the
Christian churches' relationship to women. (Excepting, of course,
the Virgin Mary.)
She is the whore "with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk
with the wine of her fornication... having a golden cup in her hand
full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication... drunken
with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of
Jesus."
Yup. That about sums up the Christian view of women (except
virgins, of course; and married women who have never, ever,
thought about sex).
I went ahead and grabbed two stills from Lang's film, and here
they are... https://i.postimg.cc/sDvdMCQp/Metropolis-Lang.jpg
Technically not naked, but naked ENOUGH.
