    Marlene Dietrich

    Never understood the cult

    The songs are pretty terrible
    Her acting is one-dimensional
    And she always looked drugged

    Without Dietrich, though, we'd never have been blessed with Lili.

          Yes, saw it a few months ago. Watched her in Judgment at Nuremberg yesterday. Have also seen Hitchcock's Stage fright, No highway in the sky, Destry rides again (both with Jimmy Stewart) and a few more. It's the same role over and over. Either she was cast like that or she simply can not act in a different way.

          I checked out her Filmography. The first one (silent) was "Im Schatten des Glücks". I really need to practice some German because I instantly translated it to "I shat in your Glock's"

            I think I'd have had Marlene Dietrich if the alternatives were Gracie Fields and Vera Lynn.

                  She has charisma and that ability to dominate the screen or stage in any scene or song she's doing. She's not a genius technical actress like Meryl Streep or Maggie Smith but I don't think film acting has ever been about amazing technique. Less is more usually works better.
