“Morocco.” Kartes. $19.95. The languorous pace of Josef von Sternberg’s 1930 “Morocco”--his first American film with Marlene Dietrich--might strike some audiences as antique. But this movie (written by cynic’s cynic Jules Furthman) charts the obsessive love of an expatriate cabaret singer for a lady-killing foreign legionnaire with more sexual sophistication and psychological acuity than most of what you’ll see today. And it glitters just the way a Hollywood classic should. The young Dietrich and Gary Cooper are one of the screen’s most striking couples, and Von Sternberg and cinematographer Lee Garmes make every frame of “Morocco”--with its desert winds and sultry bazaars--ravishingly composed and lit, Rembrandtesque, intensely atmospheric.
