JEAN ARTHUR in THE MORE THE MERRIER (1943) dir. George Stevens A FOREIGN AFFAIR (1948) dir. Billy Wilder

Marlene Dietrich entertaining servicemen at a USO show in Anzio, Italy, 1944. Her paisley evening gown was later re-worn in Billy Wilder's 1948 film A Foreign Affair along with two other of Dietrich's own outfits. As Christina M. Johnson writes, "Dietrich had a history of being heavily involved with her film wardrobes. … Re-wearing wardrobe in which she had viscerally experienced the Second World War to portray a complex screen character who had also lived through the tumultuous war infused the actress' performance with direct personal experience and a tangible reality that could not have been accomplished with a brand new costume."

I already rewrote Queen Christina as a lesbian political drama in my head...and now I can't can't get the idea of a queer golden age of cinema out of my head.

"A foreign affair"

[womansfilm]

"[Jean Arthur] was alone there. You see Marlene wants to engage her in some kind of dialogue. She was a real kibitzer, you know. When an electrician had a sneeze, she would run out, barefoot in the rain, climb up the steps, and bring some aspirin. She was a great great doctor, that's what she was." Billy Wilder on Jean Arthur and Marlene Dietrich, Conversations With Wilder (1999)
