Marlene (1986)
Director Maximilian Schell overcame
several obstacles (one being Dietrich's refusal to appear on
camera) to make this award-winning film in which we hear the
voice of an interesting if cantankerous Dietrich. Schell used
a replica of her Paris apartment and Dietrich film flashbacks
to produce this remarkable record of Marlene the star and
Marlene the person. (Embassy Home Entertainment video)
