1965rif. 132240Germany: Atlas Films 1965. Original German A1 poster for a 1965 re-release of the 1930 German film. From the collection of noted film historian Amos Vogel. Full provenance available. Marlene Dietrich became an immediate international star on the strength of her performance as the temptress Lola Frohlich in Josef von Sternberg's classic tale of love and obsession. Professor Immanuel Rath Emil Jannings is a strict and humorless schoolmaster who is shocked when he discovers the boys in his class have been spending their time at a sleazy cabaret called The Blue Angel where an entertainer named Lola Dietrich keeps the men in thrall and sells suggestive postcards of herself. "The Blue Angel" was shot in both German and English language versions; the German is preferable as most of the cast were obviously more expert in that tongue. Dietrich introduced what would become her theme song "Falling In Love Again" in this film. 23 x 33 inches folded. Several short tears at the edges light rubbing. Very Good plus overall.
