Trivia

• Selected for the National Board of Review: Top Ten Films.
• Also nominated for: Academy Award for Best Actress; Academy Award for Best Director; Academy Award for Best Cinematography; Academy Award for Best Production Design.
• Even before Josef von Sternberg's The Blue Angel was released to global acclaim in 1930, Paramount Pictures took a keen interest in its new star, Marlene Dietrich.
• Legend has it that Dietrich included a copy of author Benno Vigny's story Amy Jolly in a going-away gift package to Sternberg when he sailed for America.
• On the basis of test footage Sternberg provided from the yet unreleased The Blue Angel, producer B. P. Schulberg agreed to bring Dietrich to Hollywood in February 1930 under a two-picture contract.

Filming Locations

• Sternberg filmed so as to make Cooper look up at Dietrich, emphasizing her at his expense.
