  4. Hollywood finds romance in travel

    Love is always lovelier some place other than home. Well, at least in the celluloid universe.
    Love is always lovelier some place other than home. Well, at least in the celluloid universe. Traveling by boat, train or even bus can lead to romantic entanglements in the movies, as does visiting über-romantic locales such as Rome, Paris and Venice. Of...

  7. Book review: Charlotte Chandler's 'Marlene: Marlene Dietrich, A Personal Biography'

    It hardly seems possible that there could be room for yet another important biography on so iconic a star as Marlene Dietrich, already the subject of a remarkably candid yet detached memoir by her daughter Maria Riva and of the late Steven Bach's thoughtful and exhaustively researched "Marlene Dietrich: Life and Legend." Both were published not long after Dietrich's death in Paris at 91 in 1992. Yet Charlotte Chandler's "Marlene: Marlene Dietrich, A Personal Biography" proves invaluable. As with such self-protective, image-conscious legends as Katharine Hepburn, Joan Crawford and Mae West, Chandler has again demonstrated her unparalleled ability to get major figures of Hollywood's golden age to talk about their lives with unprecedented openness.

  8. Film: 'The Blue Angel' and 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch'

    She was a glam queen when it still mattered: Marlene Dietrich was born 110 years ago this year and The Criterion in New Haven will be offering a tribute to her in the Movies and Mimosas series each weekend in September, beginning Sept. 3 and 4 at 11:30 a.m., with <em>The Blue Angel</em> (1930), the first German sound film, and the film, directed by Josef von Sternberg, that launched Marlene's international career. As Lola Lola, femme fatale extraordinaire, she reduces a staid college professor (the great Emil Jannings) to a shell of his former self &mdash; playing a clown in her cabaret shows and a humiliated cuckold in her life. Written by, among others, Thomas Mann's brother Heinrich, from his own novel, the film is famous for its rendering of German cabaret life pre-Hitler, and for Marlene's show-stopping song "Falling in Love Again (Can't Help It)."
