Prim professor Immanuel Rath finds some of his students ogling racy photos of cabaret performer Lola Lola and visits a local club, The Blue Angel, in an attempt to catch them there. Seeing Lola perform, the teacher is filled with lust, eventually resigning his position at the school to marry the young woman. However, his marriage to a coquette -- whose job is to entice men -- proves to be more difficult than Rath imagined.

Steeped in German Expressionism, this early talkie relies on the best tools of the silent cinema to set the tone & evoke emotion. Dietrich is wonderfully natural in her native tongue--better than I've ever seen her in English--and Jannings delivers a sensitive, nuanced performance as the tragic English teacher.

I struggled with this more than I would have liked, primarily because the movie doesn't understand that Dietrich's Lola is far more interesting a character than Jannings' Professor Rath. Yet we plod along for what seems like ages, seeing the enmity he inspires in his students and his bumbling through scenes at the titular club. I don't find myself compelled by Jannings as a performer, neither here nor in his silent film work like The Last Laugh. His performances exist in a space of perpetual stupefaction that comes off as one-note and boring. (Also he turned out to be a Nazi.) Dietrich, on the other hand, performs circles around him and seems to possess a self-assuredness that make me excited to seek out more of her work.

This really is a story of bitter-sweet love and Emil Jannings and Marlene Dietrich carry it off with consummate skill. He as a set-in-his-ways academic bent on ensuring his pupils are not corrupted by the distracting influences of "the Blue Angel" inn; she one of the principle bad influences who wis More
