Dietrich: Natural Duty

Work:: Dietrich: Natural Duty (S1037408601)

It is 1942, on the battlefields of North Africa, in a gold sequin gown, Marlene Dietrich takes to the stage to launch her own offensive against the German Reich. For the next three years she would fight the war her way, with an irresistible mix of songs, sequins, sex and sympathy. This real life tale of a legend takes us through the Weimar Republic, the Golden age of Hollywood, the rise of Hitler, a world on the edge of collapse, and a long journey back to Berlin where it all began.
