Woman One Longs for (1929)

Miserably newlywed for business motivations, honeymooning heir Henry Leblanc (Uno Henning) is captivated by Stascha (Marlene Dietrich), a beautiful woman squired by the creepy Dr. Karoff (Fritz Kortner). When she asserts unhappiness with her own situation, Henry connives a plan for them to run off together-but she's tragically keeping the truth about her connection to Karoff. Early dramatic lead for Dietrich co-stars Oskar Sima; Curtis Bernhardt directs. 76 min. Standard; Soundtrack: music score; audio commentary. Silent with music score.
