Review of The Garden of Allah (1936) by Sherri S — 19 Apr 2008
Oodles of golden age-style melodrama in glorious Technicolor (R), but also some kickass acting and heartstring tuggage. I defy you watch it and not clutch your pained chest by the time it ends. No singing by Marlene, but somehow that made her character more dignified.
She also wears some fabulous outfits, naturally. In short, an amazing film that is totally worth it, especially if you have doubts about Marlene Dietrich's acting chops.
