Film Screening: The Blue Angel

Please join us on Wednesday October 26th at 6:00 PM in Newcomb 445 for a screening of the classic film The Blue Angel.

The Blue Angel (German: Der blaue Engel) is a 1930 German musical comedy-drama film directed by Josef von Sternberg, and starring Marlene Dietrich, Emil Jannings and Kurt Gerron. The film presents the tragic transformation of a respectable professor to a cabaret clown and his descent into madness. The film is the first feature-length German full-talkie and brought Dietrich international fame. In addition, it introduced her signature song, Friedrich Hollaender and Robert Liebmann's "Falling in Love Again (Can't Help It)". It is considered to be a classic of German cinema.

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 drinks will be served.
