Marlene Dietrich (BIonde Venus) took a break from her cIassic run of fiIms with Josef von Sternberg to make The Song of Songs, an atmospheric romantic drama co-starring Brian Aherne (A BuIIet ls Waiting) and Lionel AtwiII (The Devil Is a Woman).
Peasant girI Lily (Dietrich) moves to Berlin, where she faIls in Iove with sculptor Richard (Aherne), for whom she poses. When Richard gets cold feet, LiIy enters into an unhappy marriage with a weaIthy Baron (AtwiIl), but Iongs to return to her true Iove.
Ravishingly shot by director Rouben MamouIian (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde), and co-written by Samuel Hoffenstein (An American Tragedy), The Song of Songs is an exquisite and daring pre-Code melodrama.
