18 of the greatest hits from one of the legends of the silver screen. In her day, movies were the equivalent of today's videos and these recordings reflect her greatest moments from the screen.

There some rare circumstances where some people who have less than perfect singing voices can deliver a song on feeling, some may call it "heart'. Jimmy Durante, Loius Armstrong and George Burns were among those I am talking about. Though I don't think that I have seen any of Ms. Dietrich's movies, this CD is quite impressive. Even though it is all in German and even though she talks her way through some parts of some songs, Dietrich sings with feeling and warmth; especially a kind of "pathos".

The most exotic actress of the 1930s and '40s, Marlene Dietrich performed her cabaret act around the world and recorded for Decca, Columbia and Capitol in the post-war period, after her film career had slowed. A thick German accent and her odd sung-spoken vocal style proved no barrier to international popular success and adoration. Born near Berlin in 1901, she began studying acting as a teenager, and auditioned with director Max Reinhardt several times before entering his drama school. She worked in the German theater and film world during the 1920s, gradually assuming star status until her international breakout at the end of the decade, when she appeared in The Blue Angel, directed by American Josef von Sternberg.

The film's success led directly to Hollywood, where she became one of the major female stars of the 1930s, in such films as Song of Songs, The Scarlet Empress, Knight Without Armour and Destry Rides Again. Because of her German heritage, the newly American citizen made a large mark in the war effort, performing the favorite "Lilli Marlene" on USO tours and recording anti-Nazi propaganda in German. She was awarded the Medal of Freedom and Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor after war's end. She had recorded music in Germany as early as the late '20s, but Dietrich returned again to the vocal industry in the '50s, first with Decca and then a long-standing contract with Columbia. The label released many live albums, preserving her wild cabaret act from various European capitals (several of them recorded with a young Burt Bacharach serving as musical director).

After her Columbia contract expired, Marlene Dietrich began to record with Capitol in the mid-'60s but retired a decade later, returning only for two roles -- one in the 1979 film Just a Gigolo with David Bowie, the other a 1984 documentary name Marlene, with her recorded interviews but no glimpse of the present-day Dietrich. Just after her death in 1992, a new musical opened based on her life, titled Sag Mir Wo Die Blumen Sind ("Where Have All the Flowers Gone?"). ---John Bush, All Music Guide

Recorded in London in December, 1964, this concert is an excellent document of Marlene Dietrich's later career as a cabaret star. Already a camp icon due to her unforgettable roles in films like THE BLUE ANGEL and DESTRY RIDES AGAIN, Dietrich added liberal doses of campy humor to her persona in the '50s and '60s, a sly, self-deprecating wit to her chilly, remote persona that adds an extra edge to signature songs like "Johnny," "Lola" and the set-closing "Falling In Love Again." Pop and jazz standards like "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" and "I Wish You Love" get transformed by Dietrich's world-weary voice, while a heartfelt version of Edith Piaf's "La Vie en Rose" is a touching tribute to Dietrich's biggest influence, who had only recently died. ---AllMusic Review
