Friday 8 December 2006, 7.30pm: Conway Hall
Yuletide/Winterfest celebration featuring “Good evening, Miss Dietrich”, a show hosted by Terry Sanderson. Marlene Dietrich was not only an A-grade film star and entertainer; she was also a lesbian and an atheist. She led an extraordinary life, explored here using extremely rare archive material. The show explores in detail her achievement as one of the great entertainers of the 20th century – not only her film career (with many great camp classics), but also her war heroism. It concludes with a showing, in its entirety, of one of her famous cabaret performances, recorded in Stockholm in 1963, when she was at the height of her powers and accompanied by Burt Bacharach. This film is not available anywhere else and this represents a unique opportunity to see it.
