The Blue Angel (Masters of Cinema)

This 1930 tale of obsession is now mainly talked about for being the film that launched Marlene Dietrich on the path to stardom, but it remains a thrilling slice of German melodrama in its own right. Eureka's hi-def release boasts restored AVC 1.19:1 1080p presentations of the German- and English-language versions. Both display some print damage (especially the English version), but represent a huge step forward in quality from previous releases. Bonus features include a commentary, Dietrich's screen test and much more.
