From the moment I got to know that famous photo by Marlene Dietrich where, in a cabaret suit, she showed her sexy legs, emblematic of The Blue Angel, I became - perhaps 50 years after the film was made - an admirer of her. More so when I learned about her antinazi attitude and that beautiful gesture of the song dedicated to the German soldiers. It is a gesture that I associate, in anti-war and humanist value, to the realization of that moving film that Chaplin made, The great dictator. I also remember watching with great interest the film "Lili Marleen* by German filmmaker Rainer Fassbinder, one of my favourites (to which I will dedicate a post on this blog at some point).
Thank you for your gratifying post, @ladyrebecca. Greetings.
