Marlene Dietrich - The Song Of Songs (2 short clips) (1932)


It seems we have a small contingent of 1930's fans from the post below.  Well, I had just stream captured this classic movie and really liked this song she sings so thought it belonged here.  Marlene Dietrich is listed as the first sex symbol in movies and she made over 50 films.  In 1991 my first year working after college I went to our German factory with four others to learn and launch a new product line of AC Drives having the new 1980's inverter technology and we hung out one night at a bar in Berlin on the famous Kudamm near our hotel and watched a German band quite enthusiastically sing a cover of 'Johnny B. Goode' so maybe hinting to us about Marlene's 'Oh Johnny' song shown here...such a classic...a Song Of Songs in my book the way she sings it!
Here is the final statue smashing scene to give some perspective on the first clip.  Her boyfriend had made a deal with a rich baron to let him marry her after she had fell in love with Lionel Atkins.
