Marlene Dietrich: Directed by Josef Von Sternberg

One of cinema's great star/director tandems is celebrated in this double feature.

She discovers evidence on a general selling secrets to the Russians and uncovers a Russian agent posing as an officer in the Austrian army. Victor McLaglen, Warner Oland, and Gustav von Seyffertitz co-star. Then, all aboard the Peking Railroad's storied "Shanghai Express" (1932), inhabited by a host of fascinating characters: Shanghai Lily (Dietrich), a strong-willed woman with a questionable reputation; Lily's former lover, a British doctor (Clive Brook); a Chinese prostitute (Anna May Wong); and a devious rebel leader (Oland). 173 min. total on two discs.
