Dietrich is her own parody... It shows she has been hanging around the gutters of Berlin... she moves and has the mimicry of a two piece drag-queen clad in sequins... I think she was very much overrated... was limited in her acting-"skills" and when she sang, she somehow always sounded like a drunk sailor... I think her myth is more interesting than her legacy of work.
Everybody is entittled to their own opinion, I quite appreciate yours eventhough I'm a great Dietrich fan/admirer/whatever you call it. One thing is for sure... a woman who introduces herself to America in 1930 dressed as a man, kissing a woman (Morocco) gets away with it and the audience loves her for it... that's out of this world, has never been done since. Not just for Marlene but also for the great historical elaborations I highly recommend the book her daughter Maria Riva wrote.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... typical queeny attitude: don't knock our religion! Anyway... no big deal to shock sleepy unsuspecting America in the 1930's by doing something that had been done, chewed up and spat out already years prior to that in Berlin. Dietrich was nothing new: not then and not ever. And don't forget... by the time M.D. went to America, there'd been Garbo and Brooks and M.D. was just the new dyke on the block for all of two seconds. As for Maria Riva: read closer. M.D. was a real c*nt!
right no point talking to you, i was trying to be nice. however, why the HELL do you take time to comment on this video, let alone watch it, when you're so anti-Dietrich? wait, don't answer I couldn't care less.
Thanks! I love this movie. :) I also agree the Maria Riva book was excellent.
