This is one of my Favorite Marlene Dietrich Roles.In her Beautiful Gowns, setting a Coquettish Trap, but Vulnerable at the same time & desperate to find a Wealthy Husband.Nobody does Feminine Whiles quite the Coquettish way Marlene Dietrich Does.

Very entertaining story with Marlene giving a wonderful performance. She is always fascinating to watch. Great costumes, good art direction. It's always interesting and the supporting cast is great.
