BETA FILM PRODUCING A TV SERIES ON FAMOUS MOVIE ICON MARLENE DIETRICH AND HER ROMANCE WITH REMARQUE

  MARLENE DIETRICH  
GETTING HER OWN TV SERIES
Out dear Beta Film is uniting with producer Nico Hofmann on a six part series on famous movie icon Marlene Dietrich inspired by Thomas Hüetlin’s upcoming novel ‘Man Lebt Sein Leben Nur Einmal’ (You Only Live Once)!
The series is inspired by Huetlin's book
The novel starts in 1937. The Venice Film Festival has just ended. Hollywood diva Marlene Dietrich is sitting on the terrace of the Hotel Excelsior  with Josef von Sternberg, who made her a global star as the director of “The Blue Angel”. Then a completely different, exceptional artist comes to the table, introduces himself and begins a charming small talk: German writer Erich Maria Remarque, who achieved world fame with his anti-war novel “Nothing New in the West.” At this moment one of the wildest love affairs of the 20th century begins, that lasts only a few years and pushes both of them to their emotional limits. A love story full of pleasures and ecstasies, full of disappointments and new beginnings against the background of the looming human catastrophe of the Second World War. Like tens of thousands of other people, both are on the run from the Nazi terror system in their home country, both are in painful creative and career crises.

    1. Hope they will find a nice actress, although Germany usually has good actors and terrible actresses. Maybe Sandra Huller could play her. She has that rough face and terrible eyebrows LOL

  2. Dietrich had so many affairs with men and women. My favorite was her love triangle with General Gavin and Martha Gellhorn, but I wonder if her romance with Remarque did affect each other in the long term.

  4. I didn't realise these two people had money though I've read the book. I can't remember the exact wording - and I was told this by a third party - but apparently Marlene D was interviewed when she was shall we say no longer in the first flush of youth. When asked how she managed to stay good-looking for her age she seemingly observed that she had money. That was very honest.

    1. This book is not yet out, you probably read some other one about her.

  5. Sorry I meant I'd read All Quiet on the Western Front. Interview was back in the 1960s.

    1. I have to admit that I did not even know the two of them were an item before making this post.
