Blonde Venus
(Directed by Joseph Von Sternberg/1932/97mins.)
Marlene Dietrich, Cary Grant, Herbert Marshall
One of the most popular and seductive of all Dietrich-Sternberg collaborations, Blonde Venus tells of a woman accepting money from a playboy to finance a treatment for her husband’s terminal illness. When the husband misunderstands, she sets out on a journey across America as a performer. Highlights of the sumptuously photographed tale include Dietrich singing “Hot Voodoo” in an ape suit and a luminous New Orleans bordello sequence that is among the most memorable sequences ever made by Sternberg and Dietrich.
