The Blue Angel (1930) Synopsis

An ignoble and utterly unacceptable behaviour inside the classroom will eventually drag the respected and ethically unyielding gymnasium professor, Immanuel Rath, to the shabby Blue Angel--the cheap and questionable post-WWI German vaudeville cabaret where his students often frequent. Bent on putting an end to their continuous demoralisation by the theatre's enchanting star, Lola Lola, the iron-fisted academic will fall from grace, as his swift amorous infatuation leads to marriage. In the end, over the following years, a debased and entirely changed Rath will nurture an intense and obsessive fixation on Lola; however, one final mortification still awaits the professor in his hometown. Will Immanuel ever bounce back?—Nick Riganas
