♥♥♥♥ very good and strange sternberg/dietrich collaboration
Sternberg's love affair with dietrich is probably at its zenith with this strange and delightfully over the top version of the story of Catherine the great.. It is a fine piece of direction with a very interesting set featuring gargoyles and secret passages all with the very best sternberg lighting scheme... Dietrich's performance is delightful and funny and as suggestive as ever..

A note on the print of the film... I will probably sound a bit spoiled when I say it was a little hard to watch.. I guess after seeing the great criterion transfers of early films like M, Pandora's Box, or even Kino's excellent transfer of Sternberg's the Blue Angel I had expected something a little bit better... Maybe the film just didn't sit well over time but criterion normally seems to perform miracles on such films.. oh well.. it is still a very nice dvd for your collection..
