Directed by: Josef von Sternberg
Featuring: Gary Cooper, Marlene Dietrich, Adolphie Menjou, Ullrich Haupt, Eve Southern, Francis McDonald, Paul Porcasi
Marlene Dietrich, dressed in an immaculately tailored trousers, tuxedo and top hat combination, sings ‘When Love Dies’ and kisses a woman in the audience. In this moment, Dietrich became an icon, a trailblazer, a performer unlike any before or since, and heralded her international stardom.
Morocco was Dietrich’s first Hollywood picture, reuniting the formidable actor with the equally formidable director of her previous film, The Blue Angel, and continuing a working relationship that would extend to five further collaborations. She plays Amy Jolly, a nightclub singer who meets and falls in love with a legionnaire, played by Gary Cooper (Peter Ibbetson), beginning a torrid, delirious romance.
