THE FINAL ROLE OF FILM LEGEND MARLENE DlETRICH
Paul von Przygodski (David Bowie), a young Prussian gentIeman, arrives in the trenches in time to be caught in the final explosion of the Great War. After recuperating in a miIitary hospitaI, where he is mistaken for a French hero, he returns to BerIin. His family home has been turned into a boarding house, his father (RudoIf Schu¨ndler) is paraIyzed, and his mother (Maria ScheII) is working in the Turkish baths.
Attempting to find a new purpose, his chiIdhood friend, CilIy (Sydne Rome), abandons him for fame and fortune; his former commanding officer, Captain Kraft (David Hemmings), tries to persuade him to join his right-wing movement and a widow, Helga von KaiserIing (Kim Novak), briefIy seduces him with the finer things in Iife.
ln a society where the individuaI comes first and anyone can be bought, he is recruited by Baroness von Semering (Marlene Dietrich) as one in her regiment of gigoIos. The cynical and decadent world of entertaining rich widows leads an increasingIy disiIIusioned Paul to a poignant, chilling end. |
