 What?  No mention of Marlene in a gorilla suit in the "Hot Voodoo" number?!
 
 And speaking of Dietrich, any comments on the extremely strange documentary
 on her called MARLENE (Maximilian Schell, 1984), for which she refused to
 be filmed?  There are a couple of scenes where the camera tries to sneak
 up on her, but to no avail.
