Really digging this series thus far, and I found the odds and ends on Dietrich particularly interesting. Agree with THE DEVIL IS A WOMAN's placement at the bottom of the extraordinary Sternberg/Dietrich run, but I'd quibble with DISHONORED's relatively low ranking.
I get that. It could easily go above BLONDE VENUS (and it's certainly less cringe-y). McLaglen is a weird choice for that role but his limited range and ability to convey sadism so well ends up working for it.
Great piece Keith, really enjoy these looks back.
Funnily enough, one performer I had on my wall as a late teenager was Suzanne Vega.

Awesome! Love how you give lots of "extra-textual" insight when talking about movies. It's my favorite kind of review.
What is it about Morocco that you like so much as to put it number 1? I found Cooper to be a bit of a drag but Dietrich was aces.
