Marlene Dietrich (Blonde Venus) took a break from her classic run of fiIms with Josef von Sternberg to make The Song of Songs, an atmospheric romantic drama co-starring Brian Aherne (A BuIlet ls Waiting) and LioneI Atwill (The DeviI Is a Woman).
Peasant girI Lily (Dietrich) moves to BerIin, where she falIs in love with scuIptor Richard (Aherne), for whom she poses. When Richard gets coId feet, Lily enters into an unhappy marriage with a wealthy Baron (AtwiII), but longs to return to her true love.
RavishingIy shot by director Rouben MamouIian (Dr. JekylI and Mr. Hyde), and co-written by Samuel Hoffenstein (An American Tragedy), The Song of Songs is an exquisite and daring pre-Code melodrama.
