Lola Lola (Marlene Dietrich), in revealing black suspenders, sits on a beer-barrel clasping an upraised knee with both hands while she leans slightly back. Though not Germany's first sound film, "The Blue Angel "was the most prestigious and expensive by far. Director Josef von Sternberg had been lured back from Hollywood and, together with acting star Emil Jannings and producer Erich Pommer, he set about making an adaptation of Heinrich Mann's novel "Professor Unrat. "The technically dazzling result is a subtly claustrophobic study of a man's downfall and a milestone in European cinema." ; G. Seller Inventory # 007120
