		She was a movie star but even more importantly, a "shaker" of the prudish establishment of that time which needed to be challenged in their ridiculous and increasly dated views on life and love.
		That movie would catapult her into instant stardom in Germany but then, Sternberg decided that his "protégée" was star material on an international scale and sent her to America where she would be introduced to the world as "Amy Jolly", her character on "Morocco".
		She reinvented herself from movie actress to stage singer and performed concerts in many country, continuing to shoot the occasional movie, even though her past stature as a movie goddess was quickly fading by now.

	Morocco (1930)
		MOROCCO is the second of seven collaborations between Marlene Dietrich and the director that discovered her and probably photographed her the best, Josef von Sternberg.
		Tom is just as cynical about women as Amy is about men, but from their first encounter over the price of an apple, you know that these two have met the one person of the opposite sex who could change everything.
		Whether it's Dietrich creating a furore of gasps when she emerges in her tux, or when she plants a firm kiss on another lady's mouth (this film was made in 1930!), she is a simply captivating screen presence--Cooper seems bland in his role in comparison, and Menjou is adequate but certainly doesn't steal the picture.

	Morocco
		Morocco's director, Josef von Sternberg, sometimes described as the foremost visual stylist of the American cinema, was born in Vienna but lived in the US on and off as a child.
		Morocco hasn't got much of a plot, and the pace is rather slow.
		Morocco was nominated for 4 Oscars, but won only for sound.

		The movie becomes the year's third highest grossing film and is in the vanguard of a wave of gangster films.

		The movie is most impressive in its sombre battle scenes, which were mostly shot on a desolate strip of Iceland where the fl sand has the same grim look as Iwo Jima’s mangled turf.
		In this movie, based on a Mayle novel, Russell Crowe is Max Skinner, an unscrupulous bond trader living in a dark and dreary London where it’s always raining, or about to rain, or has just finished raining—even indoors, it seems, since the decorator colors in the interiors are sleet gray.
		The movie is wildly overshot and overcut; the simplest scenes jump around from one angle to another.

		Although Morocco was made before the deep focus lenses of the 1940s, by placing objects in the foreground of shots and using shadows and smoke he creates a similar depth in his visual compositions.
		It was also the first movie for which the director and cinematographer Lee Garmes came up with the strategy of bathing Dietrich in light from above to emphasize her cheekbones and eyebrows.
		Morocco is the first movie on Universal Studios Home Entertainment's five-movie, two-disc Marlene Dietrich: The Glamour Collection set, which includes two others she made with von Sternberg (and a couple of trailers for extras).

	Morocco (1930) Starring: Gary Cooper, Marlene Dietrich, Adolphe Menjou - Three Movie Buffs Review
		Morocco is classic Hollywood magic distilled to its most pure essence, as evidenced by the fact that nearly everything about this movie is now a time-honored cliché.
		Everything she does in Morocco is iconic, including the scene where she comes out dressed in male-drag and kisses a woman on the lips.
		In one long shot we see her climb a small sand rise, take off her shoes, grab the rope around a donkey's neck from one of the other women and then slowly disappear from sight down the other side...

		Morocco launched Dietrich in America and started a 6 film collaboration between Josef von Sternberg and Marlene which produced some of the most provocative films of the 1930's.
		Like every early sound movie the acting is pretty wooden and stilted (having to play to the primitive microphones rather than the camera explains that), but the dialogue (script by Jules Furthman) isn't too exceptional either.
		MOROCCO is probably a very good movie for 1930 and it gives a strong hint of the greatness Dietrich and Josef von Sternberg will achieve in later movies.

	The Beach
		However, I would have to say he's far better cast in this movie, playing Richard, a hip young American dude on the loose in East Asia, than he was in Titanic as a Jack Londonish painter who learned everything he knew about life and art from the school of hard knocks.
		The real problems with this movie lie in the direction by Danny Boyle and the screenplay by John Hodge, both equally miserable.
		In its most passionate manifestations, the exotic movie is always an epic of desire, and just as in Hegel's Phenomenology of Mind this desire cannot be satisfied by some material object.

		Marlene Dietrich, in her first Hollywood film, took the country by storm with her smashing performance as cabaret singer Amy Jolly in Morocco, one of the first talkie films.
		Morocco is pure fantasy – an exotic locale and a love triangle involving Adolphe Menjou who is pursuing Dietrich who is pursuing Gary Cooper.
		As one of the first sound motion pictures, there are defects in the soundtrack, however Dietrich's deep smoky voice comes through and adds to her charm.

		Morocco, their first Hollywood movie together, is a delirious look at a cabaret singer taken with a Foreign Legion soldier (the young Gary Cooper).
		The movie starts out slowly, but once the scene is set, you quickly get more and more involved in the tensions being generated between all the characters.
		There's nothing fancy here, but Marlene and Josef von Sternberg are masters of their crafts, and can take a simple, basic boy/girl theme and make it seem as complex and important as any convoluted modern movie with all kinds of surprise twists and turns.

		Morocco (1930), Blonde Venus (1932) and, supremely, the final and most extravagant of the Dietrich-Sternberg films, the 1935 The Devil Is a Woman, constitute some of the most extreme and complex examples of the art of mise-en-scene ever to surface in Hollywood.
		They are films that use light and shadow to create dense, complex, labyrinthine spaces that somehow come to embody the unbridgeable gulf that separates lover from beloved.
