For the last hour of the evening, I put in AN EVENING WITH MARLENE DIETRICH, the 1972 taping of her London concert. For fans of Marlene, we are SO lucky to have this souvenir of her concert program in this good condition. Yes, the videotape has some video dropouts and an occasional flutter, but for archival purposes, it looks very nice and a thousand percent better than the grainy videotape I had of the last 20 minutes of the concert. It's even stereo sound (and the sound level was set WAY TOO HIGH).
At this stage of her life, she looked just a bit unsteady (she lost her balance trying to step back and bow after one number), and at one point she seemed disoriented and tottered off the stage for a moment while the cameras just rolled. Still, I'm so happy to have this.
