One of six films Cary Grant made in 1932, the first year of his Hollywood career, Blonde Venus also found him co-starring with the formidable Marlene Dietrich. Dietrich plays a cabaret singer who hooks up with Grant's politician when her husband, an American chemist played by Hebert Marshall, accidentally poisons himself and requires an expensive, life-saving treatment.<br/><br/>An irresistible concoction of cabaret and melodrama, Blonde Venus is unmistakably a Josef von Sternberg picture, and includes the infamous musical number 'Hot Voodoo', in which Dietrich emerges from a gorilla costume.<br/><br/><br/>INDICATOR STANDARD EDITION SPECIAL FEATURES<br/><br/>4K restoration<br/>Original mono audio<br/>Audio commentary with film and arts critic Adrian Martin (2019)<br/>Introduction by Nicholas von Sternberg (2019, 7 mins): the son of Josef von Sternberg discusses Blonde Venus<br/>Dietrich, a Queer Icon (2019, 25 mins): So Mayer, author of Political Animals: The New Feminist Cinema, analyses the queer iconography and legacy of Marlene Dietrich<br/>Image gallery: promotional and publicity material<br/>New and improved subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
