When "Morocco" came in 1930, the American public finally got to see the star of the German movie "The Blue Angel" That movie wasn't ready for the American market when "Morocco" came out,but rumors about Dietrich's performance were already flying. Dietrich is very good in "Morocco",a atmospheric story of passion and love.She is more natural looking then she would be in her later movies with von Sternberg. Gary Cooper, young and handsome at the time, is the young legionnaire she falls deeply in love with.Who would blame her for deserting her other suitor,who's rich and a very nice fellow, for this hunk of a man. The other part of the love triangle is played by Adolphe Menjou.He's almost Dietrich's equal in this movie.I always feel sorry for him and his unrequited love for Dietrich. "Morocco" is an entertaining movie you have to see several times to enjoy completely.I found it hard to sit through the first time,the second time I really enjoyed it.
