VHS Movie Reviews of Knight Without Armour

Movie Review: Marlene is breathtaking!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a must see for Dietrich fans. The chemistry between Dietrich and Donat is amazing especially considering he was sick during filming. This is my favorite Dietrich film, it is beautiful to watch. The beginning when she is overtaken by the mob is poetic eye candy.

Movie Review: A Dream Of Romance
Summary: 4 Stars

The story is familiar enough: Russian noblewoman abducted, and saved after many adventurers. It seems improbable now, but the material is very close not only to historical accounts of such escapes, or even merely to the fictional Anastasia of stage and film. Eighty years ago, nobody wold have doubted a bit of it. Some aristocrats did escape. Some titled and formerly rich and beautiful Russian women found their various ways to Berlin and Paris. Several founded successful businesses based on their knowledge of and familiarity with beautiful things; they dealt in lingeree, clothing, furs, jewels. During the 20s there actually was such a thing as Russian chic, and this film recaptures some of that romance.

Like all well-made black and white films, KNIGHT has the feeling of a dream, and that feeling is sustained throughout with the most amazing display of understated cinematic skill. The scenario: A beautiful woman living in a cocoon of wealth and privilege, is swept away in the middle of the night. Led and shielded by a handsome stranger, she finds her way to political and emotional freedom, by crossing a final border, and by falling in love with her non-aristocratic guardian and savior. She becoemes a 'real' woman. This is fairly pure Joseph Campbell with a bit of Cocteau and Jung thrown in for good measur. If it is not bluntly erotic enough for our time, perhaps, or for a somewhat earlier time -- think of Dr. Zivago -- it brings us back to a frame of mind that died with the First World War, when what attracted men and women to one another, had to do with character; when admiration combined with sex to form Adoration. It was a time of ideals. Dietrich's exceptional beauty in this film, is more than merely the beauty of an actress. Here, it becomes symbolic of all that was beautiful in Aristocratic Russia before the Revolution. She becomes the embodiment of some a rare and exquisite treasure very much like a Feberge jewel; something fragile, unique, astonishing. She looks the way Rachmaninoff sounds.

This is a cinematic experience of exceptional beauty; much like a fine eau de parfum; Chanel's Russian Leather, perhaps.
