An Evening With Marlene Dietrich. Live in 1972. DVD Version (Al Upscale) 

50 years ago- but class & graciousness don’t date.❤️🫡

So gracious and classy, she sees bouquet and picks it up, That skank Madonna would had kicked it aside and whisper I don't like those, like when she was given hydrangeas once by a fan ,and was heard saying ..." I hate hydrangeas"... ungrateful Kunt. I was a big fan , things like that Madd me have Great distaste for her,Madonna u have NO CLASS!

She survived cancer in 1965 and suffered various falls throughout the 70s

@@jackchen7003 you are right. Her serious fells was in 73,74,75

@@marlenearchives yes. Her later life was extremely tragic. She locked herself in her apartment and never came out. She died like that at age 90. So sad

@@jackchen7003 False.She might went outside until the mid-1980s.

Yes...quite an epitaph.

now 52 years ago

I remember watching this show on American television in the fall of 1972. There was only one Dietrich. Ernest Hemingway referred to her as “The Big Kraut.” Her signature song will always be “Falling in love again” from “The Blue Angel.” Yes, her voice had very limited range, and she was not really a very good singer. Still, she knew how to use her limited talents to a maximum effect. She created a persona of sexual allure that was unmatched among her peers. Here at 70, she maintained the seductiveness of a 25 year old. Nobody could sing a song in German like Dietrich. This 1972 show from London is priceless. It’s so wonderful to be able to watch it again after these many, many, years. Nobody can replace Dietrich. Nobody.

The greatest woman👏🙏❤🇩🇪

MALE FANTASIZING

True!

She didn’t broke her leg(she always broke 1leg) first was in 1973, after 74 and 75(but she also broke her leg in 80s after gigolo)

@@marlenearchives *в 1978 году.*

​@@GoddesIIДа, в конце после 1978 она вернулась из Швейцарии после "специального лечения", её запечатлели французские фотографы в аэропорту.

@@marlenearchives *совершенно верно.*

@@GoddesII Если я не ошибаюсь, то это последняя фотография, сделанная на публике. Хотя если я не ошибаюсь, то выходила она из квартиры до середины 80ых.

That is fantastic that you had an Opportunity to talk with her! Best wishes to you🤗

@@tomek4224 It's something I will truly never forget.

MALE FANTASIZING--SHE'S MERELY WORKING A JOB FOR THE MONEY SHE NEEDS--LIVING OFF DREAMS

SAD LADY

Well i love her vocalization. Adore her approach to each song. and yes @MarkHarmon she was The Presence. This video caught from 1970...ish...is a real treasure. She outlived many who copied her moves she initiated in modern media in the 1930's and beyond.

and that is not a typo...they copied her moves. M O V E S

and she copied ...whatever...we learn and grow from eachother.

If you listen to the studio recordings she made in the late 1950s and 1960s, her singing was noticeably more accurate and on pitch than in the 1970s. By 1975, she sounded like a tipsy old lady way too much of the time, often slurring her words in addition to being quite off pitch. Her daughter and a couple of other biographers attribute this to alcohol consumption, which increased as time went on. As she moved into her 70s, performing also became physically harder--- her legs were deteriorating badly, and she took several bad falls. The third one ended her career in September 1975, and with the death of her husband in 1976, Dietrich was unable to summon the will power to return to concerts. In 1979, after other falls at home, she became bedridden for the remaining 13 years of her life, and never appeared in public again. She was in pretty good shape here (this video was filmed in late 1972, shortly before her 71st birthday), although she's not as spirited and relaxed as she had been even in her Broadway shows in 1967 and 1968. She was frustrated at the filming conditions, and she wasn't accustomed to television. She knew that she wasn't at her best and she blamed producer Alexander Cohen, who later sued her for defamation.

I don't know if it's that she can't singa note ut she has a very low range in her boice, interesting that she still ket on singing. Still there was something about her vice, the emotional delivery, no one could sing Lili Marlene like her.

Wears her heart on her sleeve... makes me cry ❤❤

I had tickets to see her at Carnegie Hall in January '73. Out of town, she fell off a stage and the concert was cancelled, much to my regret. I ws 15yo at the time. I wonder what my parents thought of my interest in Dietrich. Probably worried!

OMG! you're dad was so lucky to be there! can you tell what your father was talking about this concert?

@@marlenearchives That she was a true “star” from a golden age. Had the audience in thrall, right down to the multiple curtain calls. (Not short of a point of view, I seem to recall him saying 😉)

@@paulmaxin7546 thank you so much!

@@marlenearchives You’re welcome. It was a joy for me to see this once more. I was a child first time around.

Of course she had Hollywood history behind her. But she is a brave soldier to face an audience and mesmerize them. Who else could do it? No one today.

What a lovely story, thank for telling us here ❤️

Hello! Thank you very much for your commentary! Can you say more about her TV performance? I never saw that

Are you from Spain ? It is the only known to me country where she did a TV performance in 1962. Please tell us more! What channel what country, it is very important, even the most hardcore research fans don't know about that!

Wait a minute. She was on top of the car when it drove down the street? OMG leave it to the wild Marlene!

You are welcome!

@@marlenearchives DANKE !🙌🙌👍🌷

Hello, Rudi! I hope you doing fine. And a big hug for you from Uli Putschtein ☺️

Astaire did sing often, but it's called sprechgesang with talk/singing delivery.

@@hudsony777 *а Марлен пела.*

@@GoddesII Marlene also talked and sang, both.

@@hudsony777 *петь можно по-разному) Марлен поющая актриса и это прекрасно.*

@@GoddesII Please write in English. "You can sing in different ways) Marlene is a singing actress and it's wonderful."

I saw when she performed in New York and everything you say is absolutely true every movement every finger gesture choreographed not a thing out of place amazing

*но ван клифф все же великолепен на изумительной шее великой и прекрасной Марлен😉😉😉*

Hallo from Dietrich. All timecodes have been added to the video description. Thank you.
