At this moment, the innocence of the intellectuals overcame the reason the old professor had always maintained, and the two became husband and wife. Sudden happiness numbs the youthful old professor: but he has nothing but an old and frail body and the false name of "Professor". Although the title of "professor's wife" made the head's wife of the song and dance troupe all "envy, jealous, and hateful", the good times did not last long. The professor who lost his job had to commit himself to the song and dance troupe as a handyman. What made him annoyed the most was the low-pitched attitude to the guests. Selling sexy pictures of Lola. The embarrassment of life gradually made the old professor sober. The price of his ideal love is to lose the reputation, morality and dignity accumulated in his life. The last scene of the film is the climax of the whole film, returning to the "Blue Angels" performance. The old professor loses face in front of his fellow villagers. What makes him even more shocked is that his wife is flirting with a strange man. The poor and pitiful old professor dragged his old body back to the classroom in grief and anger, and died by the desk.
The story begins in the classroom, where mischievous students swear at the old professor in their workbooks, reflecting the strict and demanding style of the old professor on weekdays. Knowing that several bad students went to the "Blue Angel" dance hall, the old professor couldn't hold back. Like a "moral" policeman, he wanted to arrest the "criminals" who were corrupt in character and learning. In the dressing room, he met the sexy goddess on the card - Laura. Laura's kindness to the old professor is mixed with respect for intellectuals and courtesy to guests. The old professor, who was at a loss for words, panicked. Facing the sophisticated Laura, the idea of lust overwhelmed the shackles of morality. The embarrassed old professor lost the balance between reason and emotion, and behaved extremely comically. For Laura, who was in the dust, the old professor was just a dull and innocent child. The interaction between the two and even the later union, Laura has a game attitude, which also heralds the final tragic ending.
Emile Johnnings' portrayal of the professor's role can be described as penetrating, with a strong intellectual pedantic atmosphere. The serious and rigid professor on the podium is in sharp contrast with the poignant clown on the stage, and the characters are three-dimensional and full. At the same time, Von Steborg also showed great skill in tailoring the plot, showing the life state and spiritual outlook of the characters through the carving of a certain detail of the life profile. The composition of the film has large areas of black shadows, and the space is always filled with debris and crowded. The movement space of the characters is extremely limited, and the director uses the visual image full of the screen to dissolve the order of time and space, giving people a sense of chaos that is hard to breathe.
The film is an undoubted classic in film history, and it also contributed a dazzling treasure, Marlene Dietrich, to the world film circle. Dietrich also entered the international film circle with this film. The role of Laura has also become a model for the type of "slut" image on the screen.
