The film follows the exploits of Lulu, a showgirl (and most likely "a woman of the streets") whose beauty and sexuality captivates the men (and a few women) in Berlin, while at the same time brings down the men who become so attached to her, including her husband (who broke off his engagement to marry Lulu only to shot accidentally on their wedding night), his son (who fell so madly in love with Lulu that he lost his fortune, and nearly his life, gambling), and Countess Geshwitz(harboring her lesbian feelings for Lulu, while trying to save her financially). Arriving in London, her final encounter is with a man we now refer to as Jack the Ripper. Brooks radiates in this film and the still photos from the film as well as others do not do her justice. However the film for me was somewhat of a downer with little progression of story, we are just watching the Adventures of Lulu so to speak, which is that bad, but...... Rating, 7.
