Morocco (1930)
Mogador, Morocco. Late 1920s. A complex romance develops between a womanizing Legionnaire and a disillusioned Parisian cabaret singer.
🏳️🌈 Josef von Sternberg's pre-code masterpiece explicitly incorporates a historic sáfic layer through Marlene Dietrich's character, who famously performs in a tuxedo and kisses a female audience member on the lips.
