Paris, the 1970s. Legendary screen and stage actress, Marlene Dietrich, now in her seventies, is preparing for her evening's solo performance... In the twilight years of her career and acutely aware of her celebrity status, Marlene is as fierce as ever. But backstage, as she gossips, gives press interviews and appears the demanding diva, we glimpse the nerves, the pressure and the need for applause. Singer, actress, Hollywood star, glamorous beauty, wartime idol and cabaret performer, Marlene was a showbiz legend. Interspersed with much-loved songs of a bygone era, including You Do Something To Me, Le Vie En Rose, Lili Marlene and Falling In Love Again, this is a moving celebration of the woman behind the myth.
