Marlene Dietrich - Commentary by Leni Riefenstahl.wmv

[@datacommguy]

I admire Riefenstahl's craftmanship, but as for the woman and her motives, that's another matter. It's interesting to hear what she has to say about Marlene, I don't think either liked each other.

[@ThomasWBaldwin]

you don't know shit

[@seethevolcane]

Fascinating clip. Tks.

[@thorsten1955]

Sure, the row in the studio took place the day Marlene filmed the most famous scene. I don't believe a single word.

[@wunschen]

Thanks MXtreme and Datacomm, there are photos you've probably seen of Riefenstahl and Dietrich together, but they always seem to have Anna May Wong planted firmly between them. :)

[@josephbingham1255]

1:21 If Sternberg thought Leni was the complete opposite of Marlene Dietrich then she should taken that as a compliment. I saw a television interview with her daughter talking about her mother Marlene Dietrich. Revealing such as her mother returning home, taking her underwear off telling her daughter to smell it as it was an "important man." And when asked what her father thought of her mother's behavior she said , " Well if you want to have the prestige of being married to Marlene Dietrich you just had to put up with it." Sternbert recognized Leni's higher moral value to say such a thing to her.

Und da hat sie gesagt, dass sie nicht mehr spielt, wenn ich ins Atelier komme. Gut so. Da hat die Dietrich wohl schon damals einen guten Instinkt gehabt, für das, was da noch kommen sollte. Und gut, dass die Leni weggeblieben ist. Sonst hätten wir ja nie den blauen Engel bekommen. Und das wäre nun ein Verlust. Es lebe Marlene Dietrich, Patriotin und Pazifistin in einer Person.

[@Moem43]

Sure, Leni, sure.

Big liar, a Nazi Woman. Overcompensating the rest of her life.

Dear Sir/Madam of The Wunschen Channel, Thank you this excerpt about Misses Marlene Dietrich and Leni Riefenstahl. Would you kindly inform me, as well as others where is the complete filmed interview? God Bless, Eric Galati

[@Rudipolt]

Thanks Aloha Marlene

There is no possible comparison between the two, I don't see the point in this video. Leni was serving the Reich, Marlene refused to do it and that's that. Leni isn't remembered as an actress, or maybe by German elderlies...

[@theoriginalbadbob]

She was a super-star DANCER, then she became a world-famous MOVIE STAR, then she acted in films that she WROTE, PRODUCED, and DIRECTED. Marlene never did anything other than be a great actress and singer.

[@alecvillavilla9978]

@@theoriginalbadbob True but she, Marlene, never even considered working for a mentally unbalanced, appaling, coward, criminal regime like Hitler's. And this will place her hugely above Riefenstahl for good.

[@ziledevara1]

You're right, no possible comparison. Leni was one of the most talented and innovative female filmmakers of all time while Marlene was another Hollywood bimbo in the long line of "bombshells".

[@francinesicard464]

@@ziledevara1 Each one their own! No matter how innovative you are if you put your talent to the service of such regime!

[@retter2critical]

Which film is this from?

[@nathalia65157]

Where is the Marlene D voiceover/interview from?

[@edgarbee3570]

Nathalia Bell it's from the documentary from Maximilian Schell was called "Marlene" from 1984. Sorry for my bad English

[@BUweB]

I did not know that Riefenstahl wanted to be an actress. I thought she did direct movies and wanted to be a Regisseur. Marlene and her are two different and Lightyears aways planets of course.

[@theoriginalbadbob]

She acted in dozens of "mountain films."

[@yury8243]

Wow

[@ALMONTANAPAGE]

From some her comments about Deitrich, it seems that Riefenstahl was the catty one. She also had nothing on Dietrich. In the clip of her acting here, Riefenstahl looks like a waitress at the end of her shift, where Marlene was naturally alluring and sensual. If Marlene actually did not want Riefenstahl on the set of The Blue Angel, it may have been because she knew of Riefenstahl's Nazi leanings and not any "jealousy". Jealous of....what? von Sternberg could have lit and coached Riefenstahl to death and she still would have been nowhere near Marlene. Nice try sweetheart, but you're not very credible.

[@lottaandgus]

@El Jay Perhaps Dietrich didn't want her on the set because Riefenstahl was an asshole.

[@lottaandgus]

@El Jay Maybe you should do a little research yourself. Start with a book called Dietrich & Riefenstahl-- Hollywood, Berlin and a Century in Two Lives by Karen Wieland.

[@lottaandgus]

@El Jay How do you know it's biased if you haven't read it?

[@lottaandgus]

@El Jay Well, it's not "biased," but it does have a well-supported thesis. You don't want to read only books that you agree with, do you? How will you ever learn anything?

[@summermen]

She was famous for her lying. It's the privilege of outliving everyone.

[@siempremarisol]

HAK not true

[@siempremarisol]

HAK SHE WAS WONDERFUL

[@giavannira]

Absol true!!! She famous for lying u said it best!!!

[@bette1908]

Bullshit

[@sambaprojectllc]

Meeeoooow!::)

[@siempremarisol]

marlene was drunk the last 20 years of her life ,LENI have a wonderful life

[@bette1908]

No she wasn't. She was bedridden.

[@1arttu]

Marlene Dietrich is remembered for being a brave woman and a wonderful star. Riefenstahl is remembered for being a nazi.

[@GFSLombardo]

And, thankfully a dead one

[@ALMONTANAPAGE]

And you know this....how?

[@semsemeini7905]

She was not at all drunk. I saw her show in Britain and she was fabulous.

[@Rudipolt]

Hi Leni Aloha from Hawaii

[@generaleyuricesar3420]

Leni obviously tries to shadow Marlene....... POINTLESS

[@z-a2935]

Bullshit

[@Thesavageeye]

Never liked her. I prefer Dietrich a thousand times.

[@JamesGerard3]

Something rather insidious about all this...harnessing another's glory perhaps?

[@theoriginalbadbob]

Leni had FAR more "glory" than Marlene ever THOUGHT of having.

[@derwelpe]

@@theoriginalbadbob Marlene is a Legend, Leni was just a nazi bitch. Every single Person knows Marlene, but Leni Riefenstahl? Who is Leni.... how was her Name?

[@larry1824]

Leni I love your work but I think this story is bunk😮
