Josef von Sternberg's third collaboration with Marlene Dietrich was known as "Grand Hotel on wheels" and made an impression for its chiaroscuro lighting, bold costumes and striking cinematography. But the film is more than just a pretty picture to look at; you might find some surprising statements about feminism, race and sexuality in this 1932 release.
Here is Pre-Code's excellent review of the film:
