Blonde Venus
U.S., 1932
Marlene Dietrich portrays a former cabaret singer, forced to return to work to support her husband's desperately needed medical treatments. Famed as the “Blonde Venus” of nightclub life (and not incidentally, photographed to shimmering perfection in astounding performances), she nonetheless becomes the mistress of a wealthy man, all for the sake of the husband who comes to despise her, forcing her to decide where she really belongs.

Restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive in cooperation with Universal Pictures with funding provided by the AFI/NEA.
