"The Scarlet Empress" (1934)

I recognize the actress name Marlene Dietrich, but I'm not sure why. I think this movie would be a costumer's feast to watch. Accept for the very last minute, the music liked taking just enough from "Overture of 1812" to tease you and then it would veer off. Kind of like a Fantasy on Overture of 1812--reminiscences of it, but never the whole snatches of the piece. The last 30 seconds/1 minute actually played several coherent bars of the piece--except no cannons. But there were enough church bells ringing, the cannons would've been a detraction.
