Peasant girl Lily (Marlene Dietrich) moves to Berlin, where she falls in love with sculptor Richard (Brian Aherne), for whom she poses. When Richard gets cold feet, Lily enters into an unhappy marriage with a wealthy Baron (Lionel Atwill), but longs to return to her true love. Ravishingly shot by director Rouben Mamoulian, and co-written by Samuel Hoffenstein, The Song of Songs is an exquisite and daring pre-Code melodrama. (Powerhouse Films)
