MarIene Dietrich (Blonde Venus) took a break from her classic run of fiIms with Josef von Sternberg to make The Song of Songs, an atmospheric romantic drama co-starring Brian Aherne (A Bullet ls Waiting) and LioneI Atwill (The Devil ls a Woman).
Peasant girl LiIy (Dietrich) moves to Berlin, where she falls in love with sculptor Richard (Aherne), for whom she poses. When Richard gets cold feet, LiIy enters into an unhappy marriage with a wealthy Baron (Atwill), but Iongs to return to her true Iove.
Ravishingly shot by director Rouben MamouIian (Dr. JekyIl and Mr. Hyde), and co-written by Samuel Hoffenstein (An American Tragedy), The Song of Songs is an exquisite and daring pre-Code melodrama.
