Remarkable. While the young officer engages in his pointless outburst, she takes a moment to freshen her lipstick and adjust her silk stockings. Brilliant direction by von Sternberg, and superb performance by Dietrich. Film critic Andrew Sarris noted that Sternberg showed courage in not cutting away from Dietrich when the bullets struck her, a shocking divergence from silent film protocol.
in the words of Josef "what a gal"... love them both so much! that frame in 2:47 - pure German impressionist genius! also looks like an exact image/photograph of the Germans executing Belgian citizens in WW1. I know we see them as glamorous but they were both so so smart in their own ways as well. could watch their work for hours on end.
Barry Norton from Argentina , he had worked in Silent films and from what I have read struggled to learn English. His point is spot on and brilliantly played here , ( with perfect diction ) , don't really know why but his career never really took off.. I think he played in many Spanish Speaking parts ..
Thrilling, isn't it? The English title is: Waves of the Danube. (Donauwellen in German, Flots du Danube, in French). The author is Ion Ivanovici (alternatively: Jovan Ivanović, Iosif Ivanovici, Josef Ivanovich). This magnificent waltz is extremely popular in Russia and Poland and in general in ex socialist countries. I do not know why, but in Western countries it is not so widely known.
this 5 min scene is better than anything I've seen in the last 5 crappy years of today's films
Yes,,,as death scenes go,,,a classic
Most beautiful face and scene in history of film. Love it.
Amazing filmmaking. Amazing actress.
This scene has left me speechless, which is rare. Thank you for sharing.

She got a Bonnie Parker ending!
DIVINE MARLENE ❤️
This is Fucking Divine...no words to discribe...Just feel 💖🌹I LOVE U Lena forever and always
Peak von Sternberg and peak Marlene. A seriously good film.
Great
Qué barbaridad de final. Gracias.
Why did you cut the final seconds of the grand musical finale ? Anybody know the actor who played the soldier ?

Barry Norton played Jonathan (Juan) Harker in the Spanish version of Dracula. A pretty busy bit-part actor; most of his film roles were uncredited.
I love how she puts on lipstick and readjusts her stocking just before they shoot her. "going out" like a woman
Defiant - and fearless - to the very end.
This came out at the same time as Garbo´s Mata Hari.
Si può vedere il film completo? Grazie
Mata Hari didn't look quite so fabulous, though
What's the name of the piece she was playing?
Iosif Ivanovici - Valurile Dunarii
