Review
In a foggy fantasy land of steep-pitched roofs, narrow streets and smoking chimneys, a liberated night club performer and her lusty songs slither their way into Professor Rath's heart, entrapping him and sealing his tragic fate. A fable with the slicing sensuality of a pulp novel bridging the emerging decade and the ending one, of cultures and their impending collision. Marlene Dietrich's earnest portrayal of sultry temptress Lola-Lola, scheming the degradation and downfall of the respectable college professor, was the role that made her name and established the modern embodiment of a vixen. A grim and powerful tale.
