One of Gary Cooper’s costars at Paramount was Marlene Dietrich. They made two films together in the 1930s–- MOROCCO and DESIRE. Dietrich was a European import, in the same way Greta Garbo had been for MGM. Dietich’s most frequent director during her early years in Hollywood was Josef von Sternberg, also under contract to Paramount. The actress made 13 pictures at the studio– most of them by 1936, but she did return to the lot in the late 40s to make a film for Mitchell Leisen and another one for Billy Wilder. In 1964, she had a cameo as herself in Paramount’s PARIS WHEN IT SIZZLES. Dietrich always sizzled.
Check out:
MOROCCO (1930)
ANGEL (1937)
GOLDEN EARRINGS (1947) |

Fading Fast, PARIS WHEN IT SIZZLES would have been a great title for a precode.

I almost posted about Desire (1936) when you highlighted Gary Cooper at Paramount last time, so I can't resist doing it now for Dietrich. TCM just had a rare showing recently and I'm a real sucker for it. Even if it weren't so stylish and clever it would actually be enough (for me) to just look at them, because they were both at the height of their beauty, in my opinion. I'd be hard-pressed to say which one was prettier.  And Blonde Venus (1932), with that other male dreamboat, is probably one of my 25 favorite films ever.  |
