Marlene Dietrich portrays ex-cabaret singer Helen Faraday, who is forced to hang up her apron and return to the stage when her husband becomes sick. Billed as ‘The Blonde Venus’ for her exotic dance routine, Dietrich strips out of a gorilla suit to don a jewelled, blonde afro wig. Millionaire politician Nick Townsend (Cary Grant) is intoxicated by Helen and offers her money for her husband’s medical treatment in exchange for an affair. Helen agrees, partly to save her husband and partly succumbing to the animal magnetism of the handsome millionaire. Age recommendation: 15+ 3.00pm Sat 26 Nov | |
