The Blue Angel (Classic Film Pick)
Josef
von Sternberg’s 1930 masterpiece launched Marlene Dietrich to
international fame with her role as Lola Lola, a dance-hall singer and
dancer who seduces and destroys the life of an aging professor played
by Emil Jannings. One of the first films to usher in sound in cinema,
“The Blue Angel” remains an outstanding cinematic achievement that has
influenced untold numbers of artists in all avenues of performance and
exhibition.
