You loathe me, don't you? Like the people outside. What a wicked woman I am and how brilliantly you exposed me and saved Leonard's life. The great Sir Wilfrid Robarts did it again. Well, let me tell you something. You didn't do it alone. You had help. MARLENE DIETRICH as Christine Vole/Christine Helm WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION (1957) — dir. Billy Wilder

Tyrone Power and Marlene Dietrich in 'Witness for the Prosecution', 1957.

[cantsayidont]

December 1957. Billy Wilder's finest hour: a most superior adaptation/expansion of the Agatha Christie courtroom drama, starring Charles Laughton at his grumpiest as ailing barrister Sir Wilfrid Robarts, a self-described "mean old man who hates to lose" defending the seemingly hapless Leonard Vole (Tyrone Power) from charges of murdering an elderly woman he'd befriended (Norma Varden).

As Sir Wilfrid's long-suffering nurse (Elsa Lanchester) tries to keep him from dropping dead of "conduct unbecoming a cardiac patient," the Vole case is complicated by the arrival of Leonard's wife Christine, a hard-bitten German immigrant (Marlene Dietrich) who seems curiously eager to send her husband to the gallows.

An audacious, moderately sordid mystery plot is greatly enlivened by dynamic direction and a marvelous script full of witty dialogue that frequently makes even the secondary characters (like Francis Compton as the good-humored judge and Una O'Connor as the murdered woman's peppery housekeeper) a delight to watch. The climactic moments go over the top just a tad, but it's thoroughly entertaining, by far the best adaptation of the popular stage play.

The happiest of birthdays in the afterlife to the eternally beautiful Marlene Dietrich!

Wir sollten mal wieder einen Billy-Wilder-Film schauen, dachte ich. Oder einen schönen Marlene-Dietrich-Film. Oder eine brillante Agatha-Christie-Verfilmung. Praktischerweise lässt sich das alles mühelos verbinden.
