The last of Josef von Sternberg's collaborations with (i.e., adulations of) Marlene Dietrich, a made-to-order adaptation of the Pierre Louys novel, La Femme et le Pantin (lit., The Woman and the Puppet). Choked with décors and atmosphere -- to the point of asphyxiation. Pretty impressive before you lose consciousness. Luis Buñuel's remake, under the title That Obscure Object of Desire, let in all sorts of fresh air. With Cesar Romero, Lionel Atwill. (1935) — Duncan Shepherd
