      abstract = {Emil Jannings (The Last Laugh, Faust, Othello), the  quintessential German expressionist actor, stars as  Professor Rath, the sexually-repressed instructor of a  boys' prep school. After learning of the pupils'  infatuation with French postcards depicting a local  nightclub songstress, he decides to personally investigate  the source of such indecency. But as soon as he enters the  shadowy Blue Angel nightclub and steals one glimpse of the  smoldering Lola-Lola (Marlene Dietrich), commanding the  stage in top hat, stockings, and bare thighs, Rath's  self-righteous piety is crushed. He finds himself fatefully  seduced by the throaty voice of the vulgar siren, singing  "Falling In Love Again." Consumed by desire and tormented  by his rigid propriety, Professor Rath allows himself to be  dragged down a path of personal degradation. Lola's  unrestrained sexuality was a revelation to  turn-of-the-decade moviegoers, thrusting Dietrich to the  forefront of the sultry international leading ladies, such  as Greta Garbo, who were challenging the limits of screen  sexuality.},
