This film is a strange opposite of Blue Angel. In this one Dietrich is an angel, who is taken from innocent to mature by 2 men. It is a delightful reverse. An underrated film for many reasons, especially that this one did not get the proper release to theaters and television that some of her other films did.
Ahern, as the sculptor manages to create a terrific statue of Dietrich and then falls in love with the real thing. Meanwhile, a plot is hatched with a German Colonel to make Dietrich a Baroness, and after she is left by Ahern, she does this to get revenge.
Precode, she sells herself for money, and the nude image of her statue dominates this film. What is really outstanding, is that Dietrich thick accent is hardly noticeable in this one. She sings a very good song, and plot wise, this one works better than many of her films.
Dietrich's acting is perfect, her looks are great, and her direction seems to let her bloom in this film more than most of her other films. There are plenty of good reasons to check this one out.
