Film Screening: A Foreign Affair starring Marlene Dietrich

Please join us on Wednesday October 5th at 6:00 pm in Newcomb 403 for a screening of the classic film A Foreign Affair.

A Foreign Affair is a 1948 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Billy Wilder and starring Jean Arthur, Marlene Dietrich, and John Lund. The film is about a United States Army captain in post-World War II Berlin, occupied by the Allies, who is torn between an ex-Nazi cafe singer and the United States congresswoman investigating her. Though a comedy, the film has a serious tone, attesting to the fascination of both Wilder and American audiences with the multiple legacies of Berlin in the aftermath of World War II.

This screening is part of a Marlene Dietrich retrospective with multiple events throughout the semester, sponsored by the German Embassy and the German Club. Pizza and beverages will be served.
