Kriemhild can have a little revenge. As a treat.

Die Nibelungen

Fritz Lang, 1924

[drachenwiki]

Exactly 100 years ago, on the 14th of February, 1924, the movie "Die Nibelungen" was released. Based on the Nibelungenlied and adjacent sources, it featured the first dragon ever depicted in a live-action movie.

Fafnir was depicted as an animatronic that was moved around the set on rails. Not only was the dragon artificial, so was the whole forest. The set has been built from plaster because the artificial dragon would've looked out of place in a natural forest.

The movie is in the public domain and can be watched on youtube with English subtitles:

The second part was released on April 26th 1924 and does not feature a dragon but rather the spectacular revenge of Kriemhild against the Nibelungs.
