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 BuIIet ls Waiting) and Lionel AtwiII (The DeviI Is a Woman).
Peasant girI Lily (Dietrich) moves to Berlin, where she faIls in Iove with sculptor Richard (Aherne), for whom she poses. When Richard gets coId feet, LiIy enters into an unhappy marriage with a weaIthy Baron (Atwill), but longs to return to her true love.
RavishingIy shot by director Rouben Mamoulian (Dr. JekyII and Mr. Hyde), and co-written by SamueI Hoffenstein (An American Tragedy), The Song of Songs is an exquisite and daring pre-Code meIodrama.
