The Devil Is a Woman
Josef von Sternberg's lavish Spanish fantasy on Woman As Destroyer.
Even more lavish than The Scarlet Empress, this Spanish fantasy on Woman As Destroyer ended the Dietrich/von Sternberg partnership, at least on screen. To continue together would only drag her down with him, so Jo severed the bond, but left a souvenir by casting Lionel Atwill, his near-double, as her pathetic ex-lover.
Screening with The Fashion Side of Hollywood (1935, 10min), a glimpse of Paramount couturier-in-residence Travis Banton, incorporating footage of costume tests for The Devil Is a Woman.
