sometimes i really do pine for the good ol’ days when it was ok to just throw any semblance of political correctness out the window 😆
I just mentioned this film yesterday in a post I did for a meme that I got tagged for. That gorilla sequence is all I’ve seen from it and it’s the only von Sternberg/Dietrich film I haven’t seen. I’m still waiting for a DVD release where it’s not crammed onto a disc with two other movies, which is how it’s available now. I have an older DVD player, no money to buy a new one and highly compressed DVDs freeze up and/or skip in it all the time.
Simon: I know 😀 It’s actually a really good sequence, I love the music.
Jonathan: I actually haven’t this one, just this scene. I’m planning on seeing the Sternberg/Dietrich films I’ve yet to see, whicch is still quite a few. I’ve only seen The Scarlet Empress, the Blue angel and Morocco. Which would you say is worth prioritizing?
I believe the only left that I’ve seen is Shanghai Express. Otherwise we’ve seen the same ones so if you see Blonde Venus soon I’d be anxious to read your review.
I’ll see what I can do about Blonde Venus, I’ll be sure to write a little something about it.
yay! You posted this video! I had to watch it again of course and it weirded me out X) Though, I still love it!
