Marlene Dietrich - an affectionate tribute

In this affectionate retrospective, Terry Sanderson looks at the life, career and complex personality of one of the greatest entertainers of the 20th century.

As well as being a legendary movie star and cabaret artist, Marlene Dietrich was a war hero and a lover of both men and women. In this show we will see a generous number of clips from her most famus films and then, using archive material, look at her extraordinary and medal-winning war work. Finally there will be a showing, on a big screen and in its entirety, her famous one-woman show with which she toured the world. Recorded in Sweden in 1963, this is Dietrich at her peak. Accompanied by Burt Bacharach and his orchestra.
