The Blue Angel

YOU TOO, WILL BE AROUSED BY HER INTOXICATING BEAUTY! "THIS WOMAN MAKES A MAN OF DIGNITY A SLAVE TO LOVE!"

Prim professor Immanuel Rath finds some of his students ogling racy photos of cabaret performer Lola Lola and visits a local club, The Blue Angel, in an attempt to catch them there. Seeing Lola perform, the teacher is filled with lust, eventually resigning his position at the school to marry the young woman. However, his marriage to a coquette -- whose job is to entice men -- proves to be more difficult than Rath imagined.

    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.

    A touching and heartfelt movie. The performances felt genuine, and the story was beautiful.
    Rating: 4.5

  • Eloise Archer
    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.

    Not my cup of tea. The storyline was predictable and the characters lacked depth.
