We need the eggs

Der blaue Engel (The Blue Angel)

(1930)
Talk about your femmes fatales. Ages since I've screened this, and I have no idea why, apart from its being depressing as hell, the classic story of the respected Gymnasium professor (Emil Jannings) whose head, as it were, is turned by the irresistible Lola Lola (Marlene Dietrich). Musical highlight is Friedrich Holländer's "Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuss (Falling in love again)."
