Marlene Dietrich IS glamour. There were other stars more beautiful and/or sexier but La Dietrich may be the queen when it comes to glamour. The visual care that went in to her films was almost unprecedented and Dietrich herself knew as much about how to best present her on the screen as any director or cinematographer. This set has five Dietrich classics but my personal favorite is the elegant romantic comedy THE FLAME OF NEW ORLEANS which is vastly underrated.

My question is why Universal has clumped these films under the banner of "The Franchise Collection" Ditto the Deanna Durbin films. A franchise is a group of films that are in essence related sequels-think Ma & Pa Kettle, Andy Hardy, Tarzan, Charlie Chan etc. A stars' output is not necessarily a franchise. There has to be a story relation not just the same star

I can understand Edward Coogan's frustration about Marlene's movies availability in NTSC region 1 and their quality. I would like to point out that Universal in France (PAL, region 2) has recently released 12 glorious DVDs with Marlene's movies on 12 glorious DVDs (one movie per DVD) including all the titles from the upcoming 'Glamor' release plus A Foreign Affair (B. Wilder), Dishonored (Sternberg), and The Song of Songs (Mamoulian). Great movies and DVD quality. There are also Knight without Armor released in Austaria (PAL, region 4) and Shanghai Express (PAL, region 5) reseased in Russia by Film Prestige. Maybe it's time to think about investing about $30 on a region-free DVD player and enjoy these phenomenal classics. Just a thought...

This long over-due collection of five early Marlene Dietrich films from the Paramount days is set to include: 'Blonde Venus,' 'The Devil Is a Woman,' 'The Flame of New Orleans,' 'Golden Earrings,' & 'Morocco'. The way these films are packaged is likely to be similar to the Gary Cooper collection released last year ie. five films with great quality prints squeezed onto two double-sided discs in a no-frills slip-covered fold out box.
For those of us who don't care about fancy packaging and only about great looking classic films at affordable prices this is exactly the way we want these early gems released. Well done, Universal keep 'em coming.
