The Blue Angel (1930)
Directed by Josef von Sternberg
Prim professor Immanuel Rath finds some of his students ogling racy photos of cabaret performer Lola Lola and visits a local club, The Blue Angel, in an attempt to catch them there. Seeing Lola perform, the teacher is filled with lust, eventually resigning his position at the school to marry the young woman. However, his marriage to a coquette -- whose job is to entice men -- proves to be more difficult than Rath imagined.

What critics compared The Blue Angel to
Shot largely at Germany’s legendary Babelsberg Studios, where “Metropolis” and “The Blue Angel” were made, “The Grand Budapest Hotel” recalls the work of such cosmopolitan European transplants as Ernst Lubitsch and Josef von Sternberg.
…invoking Marlene Dietrich and the song “Falling in Love Again,” from The Blue Angel , is an insult.
