Blonde Venus
Squalor never looked so inviting as in Josef von Sternberg's film, starring Cary Grant.
A slice of autobiography lurks under the rich icing of this tale, in which a German-born singer dumps her stodgy husband and permits her lover to create a new career for her. Despite Dietrich's sensational gorilla dance to 'Hot Voodoo', von Sternberg's best work is in her flight through a glamourised rural South. Squalor never looked so inviting.
