Dishonored
Josef von Sternberg's take on the seductive spy with Marlene Dietrich.
Since Garbo was playing Mata Hari, Paramount asked von Sternberg for his take on the seductive spy. Dietrich's Agent X-27 is a whore, not a dancer, and uses intelligence, not sex, to elicit secrets. Love finally does her in, however, but she dies with flair, demanding a grand piano in her cell, strolling out in furs and high heels, and halting the firing squad to adjust a stocking.
