A disappointer. Much of the blame is to be laid at director Josef von Sternberg's doorstep. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- Sudsy, but where else will you see Dietrich singing "Hot Voodoo" while initially wearing a gorilla costume and then a white afro? Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Atmospheric and visually stimulating but Josef von Sternberg's morality tale is a little thin. Full Review

A muddled, unimaginative and generally hapless piece of work, relieved somewhat by the talent and charm of the German actress and Herbert Marshall's valiant work in a thankless rôle. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- its framing of conventional melodramatic narrative beats with excessive visual style doesn't always work, making it feel at times like a fractured work, one with two personalities working against each other. Full Review

There is no possible excuse for Blonde Venus, except that it supports the incredibly accurate prediction made in this department some months ago that Marlene Dietrich was due to explode with a loud hollow pop. Full Review

The glamorous Marlene Dietrich stars as former nightclub entertainer torn between her husband, lover, career and child in Blonde Venus. Helen (Dietrich) returns to the stage billed as The Blonde Venus to raise money for her husband Edward (Herbert Marshall) who has been diagnosed with radium poisoning. She soon finds herself powerfully attracted to Nick (Cary Grant), a dashing politician who is captivated by her and offers financial support. After Nick moves Helen and her son into a beautiful apartment, Edward returns unexpectedly from his treatment to find his child and unfaithful wife gone. Featuring a dazzling performance by Marlene Dietrich, this pre-code classic remains one of the screen goddesss most memorable films.
