The Blue Angel
The Blue Angel is a 1930 German tragicomedic film directed by Josef von Sternberg and starring Emil Jannings, Marlene Dietrich and Kurt Gerron.
Written by Carl Zuckmayer, Karl Vollmöller and Robert Liebmann – with uncredited contributions by Sternberg – it is based on Heinrich Mann's 1905 novel" Professor UnratProfessor Garbage") and set in Weimar Germany.
" The Blue Angel" presents the tragic transformation of a respectable professor to a cabaret clown and his descent into madness.
The film is the first feature- length German full- talkie and brought Dietrich international fame.
In addition, it introduced her signature song, Friedrich Hollaender and Robert Liebmann's" Falling in Love Again( Ca n't Help It)".
It is considered to be a classic of German cinema.
The film was shot simultaneously in German- and English- language versions, although the latter version was thought lost for many years.
The German version is considered to be" obviously superior"; it is longer and not marred by actors struggling with their English pronunciation.
