I was told by an old movie production worker-he must have been 75 back in 1981- he told me that Emil Jannings scene with Dietrich where he violently attacks her was not acting. Jannings actually hated this woman because Von Sternberg was giving more attention to Dietrich than him. When Von Sternberg called cut 'Jannings continued to try to strangle Dietrich
Does anyone know where that eerie shot of the exterior of the Blue Angel was taken? The building is listing toward the street as Rath walks down the street. They make it appear to be near a seaside dock. I swear I saw that building on a universal studio tram ride of back lots in the '70's, but I cannot seem to resolve this. Anyone?
@RuflessRecords I found the last 20 minutes very moving and compelling. Jannings played brilliantly. The last shot was a variation on a shot used earlier in the film and it made it very clear that Prof. Rath was a farce, both as a teacher and as a clown. That is what the story of this film is all about.
@evamarimo as Marlene Dietrich herself once said, "Hör auf mit diesem Englischen Quatsch!" The German version is much better, but I guess it is pretty impressive that they filmed this in two languages at the same time. I wonder how they accomplished that... Was the English one filmed in an alternate universe?
@NazTb0y Back in the early days of film, a lot of actors had to reshoot and record the dialogue in several different languages - Buster Keaton speaks about it in one of his interviews. Whereas in silent film, the pantomime basically didn't need much dialogue and was interpreted by just about every culture by the actions of the performer alone.
She did not have perfect pitch and not the best voice in her time. But she had something, something intangible, something desirable, something human. She was older than I but I loved her and still do.
Marlene is and always will be THE Über cool...steve Mcqueen is THE man but he only wishes he was as cool as Dietrich...read about her life, her service on the front lines for moral in ww2, her medal of freedom.. the prettiest voice, and her dark sexuallity just oozes over the words..

Seeing this, one can't help to wonder how Marlene wasn't a big star before this film. However, it's easy to see how she became one after it. She projected a strange aura of sex appeal combined with a certain aloofness, that was irresistable. No one in film before or since has had that quality. Not to mention those fantastic LEGS! They could almost speak dialogue themselves. A truly unique, unforgettable woman.
Marlene is AWESOME!! She exudes sensuality and passion, and at the same time is so very classy, even when playing women of little virtue. She is dignified and strong, yet without compromising her femininity and sexualtiy. She's the rare combination of sexy and classy.
Today's "stars" can't come close to her. Even Madonna, who tries to imitate Marlene in dress and appearance, can't hold a candle to the magnificent Marlene Dietrich.
Saw this movie and was disturbed at the fall of the professor, shocking tragedy. The director stated he was just making a movie, while others paralleld the fall of him with the Weimar to deprivation and excess. I do not think I will enjoy this song like I had before when I first heard it with that car commercial years back.
This is one must-see movie. It is actually pretty disturbing, and I personally would classify it as a horror movie. What happens to the poor buffoon of a professor is nightmarish.
Lola-Lola, that beautiful, charming and commanding woman is one lace-dressed ticket to hell.
PS, see the German version with the subtitles. In the English dubbed version, half the dialogue is not translated, so you miss what the secondary characters have to say.
@MorganScorpion I thought I was the only person that viewed this movie as so tragic that it hedged on horror. I mean they humiliated and cracked eggs on this pitiful man's head. Yes, it could be classified as horror, it's such a psychological thing... :(
@MorganScorpion I prefer the German version too, but this English version isn't dubbed - the movie was shot in English with all the original actor's voices in addition to a German version.

I expect I'll get some abuse for this but personally I think she was a bit of a skank and I think most of you say you love her because you think its expected of you and you assume people will think you're cultured if you claim to adore her.
Like Marilyn Monroe too. Just another barely talented bimbo.
That's why she had to screw her way to the top because she couldn't get there the honest way.
@phillyvinilli I think that's a fair comment. I also think that as she matured, she became a great performer. Great story teller. Lili Marlene could make you weep. But she was an old lady by the time she could move someone to tears. Was initially a bimbo.
@phillyvinilli I do get what you're saying. However, there were many many other performers just like them. It's these 'stars' that made it to the top, and I think that's because their audiences saw something special in them. Some degree of understanding exactly what it was that they offered and that appealed to their audience. I do think that their essence of 'This is what you desire, now have your fill of me, but know that I KNOW what this is about' was significant.
Her first flick! Dietrich was an oft copied chanteuse who could break your heart and have you come back for more. The parody that Madeline Kahn did in "Young Frankenstein" was hilarious!
Her charm is how much off key she is. The song is beautiful and her sound is beautiful too. No one else could do this, but many could sing better and on key. She was a one off. I absolutely love her.

@fjmc39 thank god you found this, there's this proverb in moroccan arabic that says: lord give me one eye... Lord give me two. and there's another one that says: if you are not satisfied with one peace of bread, well be it with a half
Marlene had a strength that many women in Hollywood (there were a couple though.) lacked during that era. She was ahead of her time. Yes she was sexy, and pushed the envelope. But that is not what attracts me and people i know to her. She was a woman, strong and proud and she was not going to be pushed around.
@bloodwrage If you did a winky face ; - ) or something I wouldn't have assumed the worst. That being said I hate that word, to many haters out there use it.
She was extraordinary in her time for her bravado and sensuality.... Descriptions advise that Marlene was Bi... these days she may be considered a mix of KD LANG for her voice and beliefs and Annie Lennox for her individuality and beliefs and Madonna for unpure and never before seen in the public... 'In Your Face' this is me! ... mmm
Yes, Streep and Madonna (recognizing the enorous difference in quality between them) are products of a much more mundane sensibility. Dietrich's "bravado and sensuality" represent a statement about sex; she comes out of Weimar & the 1920's, the sexual revolution. Her mystique is about being a "lost woman" as well as a femme fatal. The romance of sex is still the romance of fatality in Dietrich. And, 8myvrab, you're wrong about the men not listening, there's profound sexuality there!
They do not make them like Marlena Dietrich, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford and Lana Turner anymore. The closest we have probably would be Meryl Streep. I love this song. Thanks for the post.
Madonna is a product.She can't sing,and she's not even in the same LEAGUE as Marlene was.Marlene oozed class,and fashion. I agree with you,Marlene will ALWAYS be better than the Kabala worshiping Madonna... blech! :P
well chubby is the wrong word, but in her hollywood years she was a little thinner. everybody can see that. i think at the end of the twenties women did not yet aspire to be "thin" thin...
True, very true. Regardless... I'd kill to have the kind of sex appeal that Marlene had. Absolutely fantastic. And hey, mazze00, thanks for the positive feedback rather than some of the hateful comments one receives on YouTube! ;)
how come you are a fan of marlene? i mean to us germans she is an icon because of all she stood for during the nazi-regime and after, but how do americans see her? from what i remember she wasn´t all that famous in the states. in fact she was considered box office poison for the most time...
I don't know about all of the whole nazi thing... I admit I'm pretty old, 56 years old, but I was born after ww2 and saw Marlene in movies mostly in movies in the afternoon after school, so I can't give you any perspective on the whole "box office poison" thing mazze. I'm just giving you my own opinion and that's that I think that she oozed sex appeal, regardless of where she lived or what type of poltics may or may not have played a part in her career. Take care, nice to meet you! :)
Her anti-Nazi stance, while commendable, is almost irrelevant; though she was also a staunch anti-Vietnam critic, which I found heartening. Her mystique speaks for itself and it speaks for a universal symbolism too. She was the embodiment of a highly nuanced and exotic sexuality. And don't forget, she was European, which to you as another European seems mundane, but to an American is an aspect of her world-weary sophistication. Then, there's just plain nostalgia!
why is her "anti-Nazi stance" "irrelevant" just because she was also an anti-Vietnam critic? and what do you mean with:
"And don't forget, she was European, which to you as another European seems mundane, but to an American is an aspect of her world-weary sophistication."
i couldn´t find translations for the words "mundane" and "world-weary" that seem to make sense in your sentence?
No, it's only "irrelevant" because it's not why I love her; her politics only interest me incidentally because she's not an intellectual celebrity, she's a movie star and what and what makes her a person of significance has to do with that aspect of her being, not her moral fiber. As I said, it's commendable, but not primary. "World-weary" means jaded in a picturesque way, like Young Werther, maybe. "Mundane" means everyday or trite or quotidian, i.e. not exciting or transcendental.
The "box office poison" thing was only after the movie "Knight without Armor" did badly. She revived her career in the west with "Destry Rides Again". The American Film Institute named her the 9th greatest female star of all time and she has a legacy for being a glamorous and exotic beauty.
This is way too provacative, no wonder they had such bad morals in those days, they couldnt keep their clothes on...im glad i live in this time where we have common decency

Yes, she oozes sxuality and confidence that was rare in that day and age. Hugely charismatic. But no, I don't think she could sing worth beans.

She was extraordinary in her time for her bravado and sensuality.... Descriptions advise that Marlene was Bi... these days she may be considered a mix of KD LANG for her voice and beliefs and Annie Lennox for her individuality and beliefs and Madonna for unpure and never before seen in the public... 'In Your Face' this is me! ... mmm

Yes, Streep and Madonna (recognizing the enorous difference in quality between them) are products of a much more mundane sensibility. Dietrich's "bravado and sensuality" represent a statement about sex; she comes out of Weimar & the 1920's, the sexual revolution. Her mystique is about being a "lost woman" as well as a femme fatal. The romance of sex is still the romance of fatality in Dietrich. And, 8myvrab, you're wrong about the men not listening, there's profound sexuality there!

Sorry folks, neither Madonna, nor Meryl, can catch up to her, nor anybody else.They called her the Divina Marlene.That's all...

They do not make them like Marlena Dietrich, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford and Lana Turner anymore. The closest we have probably would be Meryl Streep. I love this song. Thanks for the post.

If Marlene was a "singer", Madonna certainly is, too. Marlene was a great and
legendary star, but her singing was no
better than Madonna's is now...in fact, Madonna has a better singing voice than
Marlene had....who really talk-sings more
than sings.

Marlene will always be better than Madonna is now, in my opinion.

Madonna is a product.She can't sing,and she's not even in the same LEAGUE as Marlene was.Marlene oozed class,and fashion. I agree with you,Marlene will ALWAYS be better than the Kabala worshiping Madonna... blech! :P

Of course with the new and modern Marlene, who Madonna who else she fits perfect and is the only one to measure up to a talent like Marlene Dietrich.

Dietrich "owns" this song. All other renditions pale in comparison.

Well, she was born in 1901 so she would be like 19 in this film. Marlene and Lauren were the sexiest female teenagers, I swear to God.

Try 29. She had already had her daughter Maria.

She was 29, of course. I prefer the german-language version of the film - she was even more sexy when she sings in german
racingrubberbiker 2 years ago 2
she was 29 in fact...she was born in 1901 and the film was shot in 1929-30

I am surprised at how chubby she looks in this film. I am so used to seeing her slim.
ScarletNubian 3 years ago
Well this is Marlene before becoming hollywood diva, and I must say I am big Marlene fanatic, but the true is I like her more like this :-)
kamarza 3 years ago
Chubby? Are you on crack? lol
I think she just has on baggy pantaloons, or whatever they called them back then. Her arms look great and toned!
Did anyone see Madeline Kahn do a parody of this in the movie "Blazing Saddles" as Lili Von Schtupp? lol
anonymystery13 2 years ago 4
well chubby is the wrong word, but in her hollywood years she was a little thinner. everybody can see that. i think at the end of the twenties women did not yet aspire to be "thin" thin...
mazze00 2 years ago 4
True, very true. Regardless... I'd kill to have the kind of sex appeal that Marlene had. Absolutely fantastic. And hey, mazze00, thanks for the positive feedback rather than some of the hateful comments one receives on YouTube! ;)
anonymystery13 2 years ago
no problem ;-)
how come you are a fan of marlene? i mean to us germans she is an icon because of all she stood for during the nazi-regime and after, but how do americans see her? from what i remember she wasn´t all that famous in the states. in fact she was considered box office poison for the most time...
mazze00 2 years ago
I'm an American and I thought she was Class personified.Beautiful. I don't know about any other American,but I thought she was GORGEOUS!
FREEW0RLD2012 2 years ago 3
I don't know about all of the whole nazi thing... I admit I'm pretty old, 56 years old, but I was born after ww2 and saw Marlene in movies mostly in movies in the afternoon after school, so I can't give you any perspective on the whole "box office poison" thing mazze. I'm just giving you my own opinion and that's that I think that she oozed sex appeal, regardless of where she lived or what type of poltics may or may not have played a part in her career. Take care, nice to meet you! :)
anonymystery13 2 years ago 2
Her anti-Nazi stance, while commendable, is almost irrelevant; though she was also a staunch anti-Vietnam critic, which I found heartening. Her mystique speaks for itself and it speaks for a universal symbolism too. She was the embodiment of a highly nuanced and exotic sexuality. And don't forget, she was European, which to you as another European seems mundane, but to an American is an aspect of her world-weary sophistication. Then, there's just plain nostalgia!
princeandrey 2 years ago
why is her "anti-Nazi stance" "irrelevant" just because she was also an anti-Vietnam critic? and what do you mean with:
"And don't forget, she was European, which to you as another European seems mundane, but to an American is an aspect of her world-weary sophistication."
i couldn´t find translations for the words "mundane" and "world-weary" that seem to make sense in your sentence?
mazze00 2 years ago
No, it's only "irrelevant" because it's not why I love her; her politics only interest me incidentally because she's not an intellectual celebrity, she's a movie star and what and what makes her a person of significance has to do with that aspect of her being, not her moral fiber. As I said, it's commendable, but not primary. "World-weary" means jaded in a picturesque way, like Young Werther, maybe. "Mundane" means everyday or trite or quotidian, i.e. not exciting or transcendental.
princeandrey 2 years ago
The "box office poison" thing was only after the movie "Knight without Armor" did badly. She revived her career in the west with "Destry Rides Again". The American Film Institute named her the 9th greatest female star of all time and she has a legacy for being a glamorous and exotic beauty.
