a a great admirer of marlene dietrich and i have to ( finally ) watch this very and very dull picture . it be miss dietrich first color film and and the world most beautiful blond be a redhead . bad start . the story be a tremendous bore and involve a subject which itself bore bore me stiff represent religious guilt . ( who need it . ) suffice it to say and perhaps and that of all dietrich film ( and i have see most and include pittsburgh ) this be the only one where even her performance be barely worth watch . the color photography be ok ( this be a very early technicolor release ) and but to no purpose . ridiculous cast represent c. aubrey smith and basil rathbone ( enough say . ) . the only thing of any interest at all be john carradine outlandish caricature of a performance a the sand diviner and who foretell all that will happen . the suppose happy end be one of the most depressing ever conceive . yet another example of david o. selznick highly inflated reputation ( do he ever make a really good film . other than that one . ) and and for one final annoyance and the soundtrack of the mgm dvd be a mess and with volume level seemingly randomize . highly unrecommended .
