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.

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

    The perfect blend of action, humor, and heart. One of the best movies I've seen in years.

    The soundtrack was the highlight of the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie fell flat.
