- BurnharmApril 11, 2026Angel (1937) is not Lubitsch at his very best, but even a lesser film from him is still elegant and interesting to watch. It has classic atmosphere in every frame, with Marlene Dietrich giving the film real presence, and its romantic fantasy has more emotional depth than it first seems.
