Richard Brody The New Yorker Feb 1, 2021
The elaborate disguises, sophisticated ruses, and arachnid schemes... display the elegant beauty of fakery; their ultimate truth is disclosed in Dietrich's insolent smile when facing down men with guns. Go to Full Review

3/4

Hermione S Sep 25, 2018 Marred by a bad story, Marlene and von Sternberg nevertheless deliver visually intoxicating scenes and electric sexuality.
Ron G Mar 14, 2017 A spy movie that's ahead of its time with Dietrich on fine form as always
