The Blue Angel

Emil Jannings plays a school-teacher in a military-like grammar school and Marlene Dietrich makes her breakthrough as a singer in a cabaret.

THE BLUE ANGEL (based on a novel by Heinrich Mann) explores the clash between duty and inclination, and the purpose (and dangers) of education.

In German with English subtitles.

The film includes Dietrich’s most famous song, ‘Falling in Love Again’.
