- It's Eighties and More... and this is the more. Found this hidden on one of my videotapes. Didn't know where or when it was from, but found it is from An Evening With Marlene Dietrich.
From wiki:
Alexander H. Cohen, who had produced Dietrich's successful Broadway runs of her one-woman show in 1967 and 1968, suggested a television version of her show.
Dietrich would receive a fee of $250,000 for her participation in the project. It was said at the time that this was the highest one-shot fee ever paid to a performer to appear on television. After two airings (one in the UK and one in the US), the copyright on the show would revert to Dietrich.
Dietrich-wary of television as a medium-insisted that the show be filmed in a legitimate theatre in Europe, to best capture her act and audience reaction thereto. The New London Theatre in London was chosen as location for filming, although the theatre would still be under construction at the time of filming. (The theatre would only officially open the following year.)
Lighting designer Joe Davis was brought in to recreate Dietrich's stage lighting and designer Rouben Ter-Arutunian designed a set featuring scrims and incorporating a Dietrich sketch by René Bouche. Dietrich's costumes were by Jean Louis, and Stan Freeman conducted the orchestra, using orchestrations of the Dietrich repertoire by Burt Bacharach.
Taping took place on November 23 and November 24, 1972. Dietrich gave two complete shows to non-paying, invitee-only audiences. Shots of Dietrich interacting with the audience were also taped at the end of the second concert. She also shot retakes of "Lili Marlene" and "Falling in Love Again (Can't Help It)" (the latter both in English and German) sans audience against a black velour backdrop to facilitate a post-production split-screen montage of her singing beside old black and white stills from the 1930s and 1940s. The best selections from the various tapings would be combined to form the final, one-hour long special.
There’s really something about these stars from the golden age of Hollywood that just doesn’t exist anymore and will most likely never be duplicated
Please don't forget that the present becomes the past and the future becomes the present ... only the ever passing time can surely answer the ultimate questions: will music evolve and can singers ever match this golden era of pristine quality !
Glamour.
You're so damn right!! And all those Madonnas and Lady Gagas and all those half-naked pseudo female singers will never ever measure up with those true Ladies!!
It's the art of a different world than this one. But there are throughlines from then to now. They're all around.
Class
I SAW HER in 1968 in LA's Music Center! Front row balcony. I will never forget seeing her bathed in only a dark spot around her. I think for "Where Have All The Flowers Gone." Anti-war ballad written by Pete Seeger in 1955. STUNNING.
She doesn't sing this as much as she acts the song with her voice. One of the last truly great stars!
You're absolutely correct. She told a story with that song.
Some people are actors/actresses, some singer, and *some* performers. Marlene is the latter of the three. She's 'performing' the song so to speak. If you want to see one of the greatest actresses and singers and performers, watch "The Man That Got Away," by Judy Garland from the 1950s film, _"A Star Is Born" (1954)_
TH-cam: "Judy Garland - "The Man That Got Away" from "A Star Is Born"
One of the "firsts" you mean. There have been many after her.
call me old fashioned but thats the way a star should be treated! love you Marlene
She cannot bend over to pick up the flowers people are throwing to her. She is about 70 years old here. It's very touching when a woman in the audience figures it out and hands her some flowers. You can see Marlene really loves the flowers.
Lee Whelchel. Amazing! Just before her 71st birthday. Marlene Dietrich 27/12/01-06/05/92.
It's hard for her to bend over -- no disrespect -- because she was sewn into her gowns at that time. True.
Exactly, she could not bend over not because of age but because of the construction of her gown. She was a perfectionist in her on stage appearance, she is wearing very tight girdle type undergarments and she sewn into her gown. Age has nothing to do with it. Anyway she was amazing:)
She had a cocktail of painkillers, and had a broken leg during this performance. Her daughter speaks about this during her autobiography
@@deehan8464 No, that came much later. This is from the 1960s. That happened in 1974.
Stunning and probably the most elegant of actresses of her time
Omg..she kissed their hands. What an absolutely sweet Lady she was! How kind?
I noticed the same thing! Awfully nice of her to express her gratitude not only for the flowers, but for going to see her and being a fan!
How interesting that this 1970s audience didn't give her a standing ovation. Today's audiences seem to give standing ovations for all performances, even the average ones.
Because this is London, the English are not like Americans that way.
Still gives me chills when she speaks that last line
Legend. Their version of leaping to their feet was to fling flowers! I love that this icon cried. I am crying too.
God, she was gorgeous.
she still is you sexist pig
Bless her
Such a wonderful artist to the end. She taped her skin back to keep it taught and had a brace to support her back. Yet she gave it her all and never let anything show. A true star and Diva they just don't make them like that anymore. Maybe that s a good thing, who knows but by goodness she was amazing.
This was my grand dad's favorite song and the movie Blue Angel. Bravo!! Love Marlene, her life and her art.
I Love young Marlene very much, but that ... "knowing", little bit bored pain of her maturity is ripping me to the pieces and making me falling in love with her again and again...
Dietrich was simply shatteringly brilliant. Always. Every time. A true Goddess my oh my oh my
I just Adore Marlene Dietrich, everything on her was perfection !!!! She was the ultimate Diva, I just can help it !!!!
Lily marlene and falling in love again melt this punk rockers heart. there is something about her I love. from her movies her songs and her war work she is a true teasure
All of twenty in 1968 older friend went to College in Germany got LA Music Center Ahmanson tickets 1st row center balcony for Marlene Dietrich, dazzling sold-out event stunning to experience "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" defiant riveting performance received long thunderous standing ovation still remember well to this day, flowers & gifts covered stage people went crazy running down to be up close to her, Marlene was amazing in 1968 more energetic than late 1972 picked up gorgeous spray of flowers, never have seen anything to compare with her performance "Falling In Love" post a classic of a Legendary Icon whose likes we will never see again...
What a beautiful version of Marlene Dietrich’s most meaningful and special song. I sing it for inspiration and courage.
not young anymore but still fashinating. Class and style last forever
Listened to her during WW II as a teanager. She lived in NYC and my wife said to "Let her be alone'!!! Viva La France!!
Did you love Lili Marlene?
You can't beat the classics.😍
SHE WAS , IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A STAR , HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARLENE DIETRICH ! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I love Marlene Dietrich...she was one of the legendary Four Fabulous Faces.....SWANSON GARBO CRAWFORD and DIETRICH.
Legend.
Marlene Dietrich is unforgetable.
even walking was an art form for someone like her -- beautiful!
Marlene Dietrich: "Glamour is what I sell, it's my stock in trade."
Indeed!
This was from Marlene Dietrich's TV Special "I Wish You Love" (also known as "An Evening with Marlene Dietrich"), filmed in England in late 1972 and broadcast in early 1973. It was not really part of a tour, but a special performance especially filmed for television. The audience was all invited guests who did not pay to get in. Dietrich disliked this television special; she felt that it wasn't as good or as spontaneous as her "real" live shows were. Most music and theatre critics who saw her perform on other occasions agree with her. But this is the primary record we have of her concert career, which lasted from 1954 to 1975. Born in 1901, this was filmed just days before her 71st birthday.

I scrolled down until I found a message from someone who had the scoop. Thanks for posting.
I remember watching this on PBS when it aired back in the early 70’s. I was 12.
Grace is a unique virtue to possess. It allows a woman to be under great strain, and no one is the wiser, yet she endures. It allows a woman to be gentle and kind to complete strangers, while maintaining a feminine composure, when others are loud and boisterous! It's the real beauty and strength within...Marlene had it!
Timeless beauty, lovely voice
+hansel221 A sultry, sexy voice and a beauty
Marlene was a soldier. She fought the Nazis more than anyone. All those USO shows, she was THERE jumping of a c-47 to wherever it was. Some people fought the war with guns, she fought it just as hard with soul.
from the first moment I saw her I was in love with her ! BRAVO DIETRICH
The dress❤
I always loved her version of this song best 👍
Most fascinating!
Very touching.
No actor today can compare to the stars of the golden era of Hollywood. There was a mystique about them which elevated them to gods and goddesses. Her fans adored her and she indeed reciprocated those sentiments.
I read once during these days she had tight figure creating corsets on and they used to use strong tape under her wig to pull her face back to make her appear younger ! Now that’s a woman who suffered for her art!!
She once called me I am odsessed with her she's really. One of The most influential women of our Time
Is that a good thing 🙄?
Is that a good thing 🙄?
I wondered what happened when the corset and tape came off.
@@anthonyboarman3833 it was a girdle not a corset
STUNNING
For some reason this song makes me sad :-(
From the Blue Angel... The movie is eveN sadder...
What are you to do?
I think it is supposed to make you sad. It's not a happy song.
Me too
Lovely Artist, I saw her at Wimbledon Theatre in the seventies.
I was seven and I loved her just the same. She's the doppelgänger to Fabulous.
Awesome !
Marlene Forever !!
Thanks for sharing :-)
I love dietrich!
She had it to the max
Vaya despedida. Sola en el escenario, despidiéndose de nosotros con esa vieja canción familiar, para seguir solitaria el resto de su camino.
pure elegance and class
Wonderful.
I was at that concert - great experience.
Великолепно! Wonderful!
I love women who are comfortable been a woman...marlene was a great example of this.
Brava!
Her and Hedy lamarr are so beautiful 😭
Fantastic woman!
So lovely. xx

She had that dress sewn onto her, I believe -- it was fitted so perfectly.
Perfeita.
So elegant.
captivating
gorgeous
we're are the stars like Marlene?
GONE FOREVER. LUCKY THEM.
I'm 99% sure it's London in 1972.
Grata !

Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Can't help it
Love's always been my game
Play it how I may
I was made that way
Can't help…

ELSA MARS !
Adicts and Klaus Nomi! Haha
why don't the British do standing ovations?
They only stand up for the queen or a judge. (no, standing ovations became fashionable twenty years later).
