Sinekatalog’s take
Josef von Sternberg's melodrama has Marlene Dietrich returning to the stage to pay for her husband's treatment. Glamorous and silly, with Cary Grant and a famous gorilla number, it is a sumptuous showcase for Dietrich.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
