Josef Von Sternberg directed this poor tale with laborious and ineffectual care.

A delirious masterpiece of decadence and sexual depravity.

Compromised Sternberg, but visually and thematically compelling.

Sternberg was gifted at capturing the feel of an exotic city from a regular sound stage, and he doesn't slouch here.
