Metadata:

Marlene Dietrich followed her star turn as Lola Lola in The Blue Angel with another von Sternberg collaboration—their second of seven. She reprises her cabaret persona, playing sultry but disillusioned singer Amy Jolly who falls into a tumultuous love triangle with womanizing Legionnaire Tom (Gary Cooper) and wealthy suitor La Bessièr (Adolphe Menjue). Dietrich’s infamous cross-dressing number and frank sexuality slid past the thankfully permissive censors of the pre-code era and Morocco has yet to lose its tantalizing appeal. (35mm presentation)
