A glittering spectacle and a sweeping melodrama about motherly devotion. Unfolding episodically, the film tells the story of Helen (Dietrich), once a German chanteuse, now an American housewife, who resurrects her stage career after her husband (Herbert Marshall) falls ill; she then becomes the mistress of a millionaire (Cary Grant), in a slide from loving martyr to dishonored woman.
Blu-ray; region A; LPCM 1.0. This Blu-ray disc will not play on standard DVD players.
In English with some German; optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH).
