Dietrich in The Devil is a Woman, 1935



Dietrich's final collaboration with Josef von Sternberg, The Devil is a Woman, is a silly, rather annoying film but, like all their previous work together, it's really quite amazing to look at.  Dietrich flits about in a glittering whirlwind of Travis Banton's sublimely excessive costumes, and hair and maquillage are a tortured perfection; it's here that the famous eyebrows attain their greatest altitude.

Dietrich's "reveal":
