Short description

Mogador, Morocco. Late 1920s. A complex romance develops between a womanizing Legionnaire and a disillusioned Parisian cabaret singer.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Marlene Dietrich's (1901-1992) debut for the American public. Initially, Joseph von Sternberg's film "The Blue Angel" (1930) was filmed and released in Europe, and its premiere in the USA took place after the release of "Morocco" (Joseph von Sternberg, 1930).
  • Two scenes in the film were quite controversial for that era—in one, Marlene Dietrich kisses a woman, and in the other, she appears wearing a tuxedo.
  • The debut of Marlene Dietrich (1901-1992) for the American public. Joseph von Sternberg's film 'The Blue Angel' (1930) was first filmed and released in Europe, but its US premiere took place after the release of the film 'Morocco' (Joseph von Sternberg, 1930).
  • The scandalous scene in which Marlene Dietrich kisses another woman was added to the script at the actress's own suggestion. Dietrich herself saved the scene from the censors. It was her idea to take a flower from the woman, kiss it, and then give the flower to Gary Cooper (1901-1961). Dietrich's proposed explanation was as follows: if the censors removed the kiss, the appearance of the flower in the frame would become inexplicable.
