In post-war West Germany, the charming Von Bohm is appointed a city's new Building Commissioner, but his morality is tested when he unknowingly falls in love with a brothel worker, Lola, the paid mistress of a corrupt property developer.
From memory: Excellently produced, unusually stylized, but not quite original tale with a cast of Germany's foremost actors is at best when recreating the post-war atmosphere.
Halliwell*: "Blue Angel country is the setting for this over-predictable fable from a director whose films always have interest."
Maltin***1/2: "Brilliantly directed and edited chronicle...Striking, unusual use of lighting and color."
