Show 1
The Blue Angel
This film's direction from Joseph von Sternberg is brilliant, visionary and haunting. The star turn by Marlene Dietrich in The Blue Angel made her a screen icon. But perhaps Emil Jannings is the real treasure. His tough professor turned pathetic loser is absolutely devastating by the end of the film, with an unforgettable breakdown sequence and final scene. His performance is uncanny and is as much responsible for the longevity of this timeless film as is Dietrich's famous performance as Lola Lola.
Show 2
Marlene Dietrich at the Movies
Marlene Dietrich as a ruthless, seductive, throaty-voiced siren straddled a chair and crooned "Falling in Love Again" in top hat, stockings and bare thighs in The Blue Angel. But her intensity and magic was captured on screen in an array of roles from the spell-binding gypsy in Golden Earrings who bewitched Ray Milland to the wife enthralled by Tyrone Power in Witness for the Prosecution.
