Original 1930 Marlene Dietrich Morocco Movie Production Negative by Don English

Description: Marlene Dietrich in (Year: 1930) - (Movie: Morocco)- On set scene shot by Don English who was a notable on set Paramount Pictures photographer. Don English (1901-1964) was a unit still photographer at various studios during the 1920s but his claim to fame was capturing the meticulously composed and lit images of Marlene Dietrich created by director Josef von Sternberg and cinematographer Lee Garmes at Paramount on various films in the 1930s. English later worked with Cecil B. DeMille and Billy Wilder. Actress:Marlene Dietrich:Dietrich’s career in Germany began to take off in the late 1920s. Making film history, she was cast in Germany’s first talking picture Der Blaue Engel (1930) by Hollywood director Josef von Sternberg. An English language version, The Blue Angel, was also filmed using the same cast. With her sultry good looks and sophisticated manner, Dietrich was a natural for the role of Lola Lola, a nightclub dancer. The film follows the decline of a local professor who gives up everything to have a relationship with her character. A big hit, the film helped make Dietrich a star in the United States. In April 1930, shortly after the premiere of Der Blaue Engel in Berlin, Dietrich moved to America. Again working with von Sternberg, Dietrich starred in Morocco (1930) with Gary Cooper. She played Amy Jolly, a lounge singer, who gets entangled in a love triangle with a member of the Foreign Legion (Cooper) and a wealthy playboy (Adolphe Menjou). For her work on the film, Dietrich received her one and only Academy Award nomination. Continuing to play the femme fatale, Dietrich challenged accepted notions of feminity. She often wore pants and more masculine fashions on- and off-screen, which added to her unique allure and created new trends. Dietrich made several more films with von Sternberg, including Dishonored (1931), Shanghai Express (1932) and The Scarlet Empress (1934), in which she played the famed member of Russian royalty, Catherine the Great. Their last film together was The Devil Is a Woman (1935)—reportedly her personal favorite film. Considered by many to her most ultimate portrayal of a vamp, Dietrich played a cold-hearted temptress who captivates several men during the Spanish revolution.Photographer: Same Photo Found on IMDB link:https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0021156/mediaviewer/rm2334350592/
