To me, Madonna was merely beating a dead horse by poking fun at her riding accident in that Confessions opening, but--who knows?--she certainly could have pinched the look from Dietrich, too.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04970797639620201166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834131700403691808.post-58830221917612482532012-06-05T13:28:34.747-07:002012-06-05T13:28:34.747-07:00Madonna, of course, is a keen student of Dietrich....Madonna, of course, is a keen student of Dietrich. On her Confessions on a Dance Floor tour a few years ago now her big opening number had an equestrian theme and she wore a riding habit and hat that definitely seemed to deliberately reference Dietrich’s Song of Songs outfit.bitter69ukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182913922421674178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834131700403691808.post-32990342568174836622012-06-05T12:48:59.757-07:002012-06-05T12:48:59.757-07:00bitter69uk, it's my favorite look of The Song ...bitter69uk, it's my favorite look of <em>The Song of Songs</em>. I'd like to see images of other actresses on horseback with this look, too.<br /><br />Fab, je prefere cette legende a la realite banale sur quelque ganglion! Un gros probleme dans <em>The Flame of New Orleans</em>? Je dirais un probleme laid, mais notre Graal a souffert avec ces types dans tant des films. Je ferme les yeux quand je regarde les <em>close-ups</em> d'Edward G. Robinson dans <em>Manpower</em>.<br /><br />Le, thank you for your kind words! You will be in for a treat when I write about <em>The Scarlet Empress</em> and <em>Golden Earrings</em> because these movies heavily feature horses. Thanks for your Brazilian classic movie tips, too. In Los Angeles, there is an annual Brazilian movie festival that's coming up with recent movies that I'd be interested in watching, but I would rather get a bigger context of Brazil's movie history by watching older features.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04970797639620201166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834131700403691808.post-72633362566975901742012-06-05T11:52:57.935-07:002012-06-05T11:52:57.935-07:00In my haste and inability to make screen captures,...In my haste and inability to make screen captures, I forgot to mention <em>Angel</em> (which I own on VHS!) and <em>Knight Without Armor</em> (which won't play on my laptop), both of which were released in 1937, feature horse races, and provide Dietrich with an aristocratic lead role. Thus, the relationship between European nobility and horses appears in these movies, too.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04970797639620201166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834131700403691808.post-10924641612116170742012-06-05T10:49:33.644-07:002012-06-05T10:49:33.644-07:00Joseph, your place is an amazing source for inform...Joseph, your place is an amazing source for information about Dietrich. I'm taking notes about your tips! And the horse in Song of the Songs is really gorgeous! <br />I really hope you to come back to my blg anytime soon. About Brazilian classic movies, there is one, called Limit, form 1930, that was poduced by F. W. Murnau. It's quite rare and I really want to look for it in my next vacation. Other classics come from the 1960's, such as Black God, White Devil and The Payer of Promises, this one the winner of the Cannes Palme D'Or 50 years ago.<br />Greetings!Lêhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02419693749682458647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834131700403691808.post-80862640506948854002012-06-05T10:33:59.607-07:002012-06-05T10:33:59.607-07:00Bonjour, gentil chevalier.
"Un jour d'oc...Bonjour, gentil chevalier.<br /><br />"Un jour d'octobre, Marlène sautait une haie. Son cheval, un arabe incorrectement dressé, se déroba dans l'instant même qu'elle l'enlevait pour franchir l'obstacle. Désequilibrée, l'amazone tomba. Un agent la ramassa, la ramena chez elle. Elle avait le poignet droit foulé.<br /><br />— Elle ne pourra pas jouer de violon pendant plusieurs mois, dit le médecin qu'on avait appelé. Et jamais elle ne retrouvera toute sa souplesse..<br /><br />Marlène, ce soir-là, pleura beaucoup."<br /><br />Jean Lasserre, "La vie brûlante de Marlène Dietrich" (p.42, 1931).<br /><br />On ne se moque pas du titre ! Il y a au moins un effort de création. Une des premières biographies de Marlene... Croyons la légende et disons-nous que si nous avons eu le malheur de perdre une grande violoniste, nous avons le bonheur incomparable d'avoir gagné un mythe cinématographique.<br /><br />Nous comprenons le regard paralysant qu'elle lança à son pauvre cheval dans "The Garden Of Allah". Un si mauvais souvenir...<br /><br />J'aime beaucoup "The Song Of Songs". Mamoulian a de la technique, j'aime bien le kitsch et il y a plusieurs films en un. La pauvre-orpheline-innocente-victime-d'une-tante-trop sévère, la baronne-riche-et-malheureuse et la chanteuse-de-cabaret-un-peu-cynique-mais-au-coeur-d'or... Que demander de plus ?<br /><br />Il y a un gros problème dans "The Flame Of New Orleans" : Bruce Cabot...<br /><br />Merci, Fabrice.Fabricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12962191656603829589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834131700403691808.post-9135610371344203312012-06-05T04:51:22.574-07:002012-06-05T04:51:22.574-07:00Re Song of Songs: no one looked more beautiful in ...Re Song of Songs: no one looked more beautiful in a severe black riding habit than Dietrich in that!bitter69ukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182913922421674178noreply@blogger.com
