Blonde Venus (1932)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: bw 97m
Director: Josef Von Sternberg
Cast: Marlene Dietrich, Herbert Marshall, Cary Grant

Synopsis:

A cabaret singer seduces a millionaire customer to pay for her ailing husband's operation.

Review:

This least interesting of the Dietrich-Sternberg-Paramount partnership is filmed in the familiar lush style but has a plot which is fabulously kitsch. Points of interest remain, such as the Hot Voodoo sequence; the final shot of a child's delicate, white fingers straining for the revolving figures of a music box through the cage-like bars of his cot, which manages to be both sublime and sentimental in the worst way.
