Angel (1937)
Angel is very similar to the Herbert Marshall movie Riptide, as well as the Marlene Dietrich movie Blonde Venus, so if you liked both of those, there’s a good chance you’ll like this one as well. It has the same old theme of “keep your wife under lock and key” that many old movies have. I wonder if all husbands in that era were frightened of their wives leaving them for the first man they met. Hollywood made it seem like women had unfaithful natures and would cheat if given the slightest opportunity.
Anyway, in Angel, Marlene Dietrich is in Paris when she meets Melvyn Douglas. For no reason, she flirts shamelessly with him and has an affair – during which she purposely exchanges no personal information because that could lead to love. Mel does fall in love with her and vows to find her after she leaves him. But the audience finds out she’s married to Herbert Marshall, and very happy, too. So why have an affair with a playboy? It’s never explained. Is it love? Is it boredom? Will Bart get his heart broken like he did the last time he made a movie with Marlene? You can rent it to find out, but I found it going downhill after the first fifteen minutes’ banter ended.
