The Blue Angel

Marlene Dietrich stars as the dancer, Lola, in the movie that launched her into the pantheon of ultimate screen goddesses. Professor Immanuel Rath (Emil Jannings) is an old bachelor who discovers that some of his pupils at the university often patronize a speakeasy, The Blue Angel. He goes there to confront them but instead falls for the sensual burlesque dancer, Lola. He throws his morals aside and begins a torrid, obsessive affair, and his downward spiral into the shady world of 1930’s cabaret.
