I cannot understand why Goldwyn spent so much time, effort and money on Anna Sten. Here she is trying to sing like Dietrich...with one important difference: Dietrich could sing in tune.

@deneuvefan1939 thanks for that piece of history! fascinating!
-
Surprised so many think this song is so great. Its weak and is accordingly forgotten in the R & H catalog. A better tune written for this film, but not included when the film was released is the tune "Nana" written by someone named "Cohen" according to the CD notes. It was recorded in 1934 by the Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra during their residency at Harlem's famous Cotton Club, a regular hangout of Dietrich, Garbo, Fairbanks, and all the Hollywood elite when in New York.

The song "that's Love" was by Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart

ukranian women, hot. too bad no one could understand a word she said except sam goldwyn.
-
Samuel Goldwyn imported her from the Soviet Union to Hollywood thinking he was gonna make her into the next Garbo or Dietrich.
-
However, she could not did better then Garbo...in spite of her beautiful appearance

Goldwyn was looking for a Garbo type. Actually, everyone was looking for a Garbo. Dietrich was supposed to be a "Garbo" but instead she became "Dietrich". It drove producers and studio executives mad. Anna Sten was an attempt at a new Garbo. The problem was Sten's English was poor and she didn't have Garbo's face to compensate for it. By the time Garbo did talking pictures, her English was quite good even though some of her line readings can be a bit off at time

@Cybele1986 Sten was the victim of a publicity campaign that back fired. For two years, the public had Anna Sten shoved down its throat - "MORE GARBO THEN GARBO, MORE DIETRICH THEN DIETRICH," all before she even appeared on the screen, and when NANA was finally released, well, she wasn't. Had Goldwyn allowed Anna Sten to be Anna Sten, things might have turned out different (her English wasn't all that bad), and contrary to the legend, the critics were quite charmed by her.
