From here, the director and Dietrich would go on to make six more films together in the span of five years, and leave a legacy of some of the most indelible iconography in the cinema of glamour and obsession. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present The Blue Angel in a presentation that incorporates both versions of the film in 1080p HD for the first time in the UK.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBLU-RAY FEATURES :\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNew 1080p HD presentation of both the German - language and English - language versions of the film.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNewly translated optional subtitles on the German - language version, and SDH on the English - language version.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNew and exclusive video essay on the films by critic and scholar Tag Gallagher.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNew and exclusive feature - length audio commentary by critic and scholar Tony Rayns on the German - language version.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginal screen test with Marlene Dietrich.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArchival interview clips with Dietrich.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReview\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA remarkable performance from Emil Jannings. --Kim Newman, EMPIRE Magazine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot only is Mr. Jannings's and Miss Dietrich's acting excellent, but they are supported by an unusually competent cast. --New York Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExceptionally high drama for its day, this tragic, tragic tale is one of the best examples of well-realized filmmaking from the first half of the 20th century. --Filmcritic.com\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"EUREKA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46480029155502,"sku":"EKA70093","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/4614\/3918\/files\/The-Blue-Angel-Lime-Light-BD.jpg?v=1751295809","url":"https:\/\/limelightcollection.co.uk\/en-eu\/products\/blue-angel-the-der-blaue-engel-masters-of-cinema-blu-ray","provider":"Limelight Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
