A classic of cinema, 15 November 1999
Author:

This movie should merit a place in the upper region of the 250 top movies,
somewhere in the neighborhood of "Citizen Kane" and "Twelve Angry Men".
Apparently it is not very well known in the USA.
In Germany and in countries where the German language is rather familiar, it
is rightly considered as one of the classics of cinema.
Amazing, that Sternberg, only a couple of years after the invention of the
"talky" could produce a masterpiece that has seldom been surpassed. It was
this movie that launched the carreer of Marlene Dietrich, with her famous
song "Ich bin von
Kopf bis Fuss auf Liebe eingestellt".
I had seen the movie many years ago. When I saw it for the second time about
a year ago, I realized that Emile Jennings acting, as the rather silly
teacher at the local grammar school who sacrifies his career because of a
cabaret girl, was not less impressive than that of Marlene Dietrich. A pity
that I did never see another film with this great actor.
