Two films starring Marlene Dietrich: Blue Angel 1930 and Morocco 1930 - Directed by Josef von Sternberg

This was the breakthrough film for Marlene Dietrich.  A prudish professor goes to a nightclub to chastise the cabaret entertainer who he thinks is corrupting his students...naturally, he gets corrupted.

In the history of film, this film is huge and it launched Dietrich's career in the USA.
