Amongst movie audiences are those who have decided to become avid movie fans. Others press on, becoming studious and seek to know what the formula of a genuine Classic is. Indeed, a few dedicate their lives to discover a truly Classic film and realize one when they see it. Here is one you should have in your own collection of movies. A real classic shows you something rare or at least missing in so many which do not possess the power and magic. The film is called " The Blue Angel " a 1930 film which ranks among the greatest. Emil Jannings plays Prof. Immanuel Rath a collegial educator and die hard professor who teaches Fine Arts. He is a strict disciplinarian who commands respect in the college where he teaches. Marlene Dietrich is Lola Lola a nightclub singer, showgirl and entertainer who works with a traveling troop. Never having had a love life, Rath becomes easy prey for Lola who takes him for the ride of his life. What he won't do for love becomes only too obvious, yet he will pay and that makes for tragedy. Look closely, if you seek the secret formula and you'll find the obvious trademark of a true Classic. Highly recommended. ****
