...FILM'S FALSE ending shows this ambiguity best: After Veronika's monologue, Alexandre leaves to drive her home; and Marie is left alone, lying on her bed, her head against the wall. She puts on a song by Marlene Dietrich and when the song is over the audience expects the film to be over: Veronika has just delivered a devastating judgment about the lives of Alexandre and Marie; she seems determined to walk out of their lives.

"Teach," as she was nicknamed by one of her finest show-biz pupils, Carole Lombard, was also courtside mentor of Clark Gable, Marlene Dietrich and Groucho Marx...
...Hitler and his henchmen. Symbols of that pride dominate photographs illustrating actual news dispatches of the day or adorning a 1932-33 chronicle of Germany's cultural and sporting life: Boxer Max Schmeling fighting America's Jack Sharkey for the world's heavyweight title; Marlene Dietrich posing in a scene from one of her early film triumphs...
