Vague Visages

Justine Smith

Dietrich’s otherness translates quite poorly to Spain and so does Sternberg’s filmmaking. With her beautiful voice lost to high pitched exclamations and her mystery reduced to mere coyness, Dietrich’s performance crosses the threshold into burlesque.

The runt of the von Sternberg-Dietrich litter.

It is lacking in every virtue which made Sternberg a director of promise.

The film seems a retrospective formulation of Dietrich and von Sternberg.

Esquire Magazine

Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy)

Marlene Dietrich cuts loose and overacts the part of a shrugging, mincing Spanish beauty who digs her heels in the heart of the man who worships her. As usual, Von Sternberg overloads his story with startling camera artifice.
