I enjoyed another Marlene Dietrich movie this evening: “Dishonored,” dir. Joseph Starnberg (Paramount, 1931). This was her second U.S. film, coming on the heels of Starnberg’s “Morocco” (1930). She doesn’t sing this time, but her piano playing is striking. As with “Blonde Venus," her sense of duty and love put her in the crosshairs of men and their law.

This evening I watched “Blonde Venus,” dir. Joseph Starnberg (Paramount, 1932).
