The Blue Angel

Synopsis: Germany 1924. Middle aged Dr. Immanuel Rath is a literature professor at a boys college. Most of his students don't much like him, often calling him "unrath" - German for garbage. Dr. Rath learns that many of his boys often frequent a cabaret called Der blaue Engel - the Blue Angel - which he believes is corrupting their impressionable young minds. He heads to the Blue Angel himself to catch the boys in the act and shame them into not going again. Over several visits, Rath is able to catch the boys, but in the process he also understands what attracts the boys, namely the headlining performer Lola Lola. Rath falls under Lola's spell, he who falls in love with her - and she seemingly with him - so much so that he wants to marry her and give up his teaching career to be with her on her travels from cabaret to cabaret. Their relationship ends up not being what either envisioned, the question being how they will both deal with their disintegrating relationship and the reasons behind that d

Mister Professor!

Breakfast!

These cigars...

everything smells.

The old man is coming!

Sit down!

Angst! Come here!

Rub that out!

- But, Mister Professor...

- Be quiet! Sit down!

Now, let's see

what else you learned.

Hamlet, Act III scene 1.

Edmund!

Na, na, na?

To be...?

To be, or not to be.

To be, or not to be...

That is the...

Halt!

Wrong!

You are evidently dissatisfied with the

accepted pronunciation of the verb "the"!

The!

The.

The!

The.

The.

The.

The.

Say it out loud now.

Goddamn lazy bum!

Sit down!

Copy books!

Now, gentlemen, write

the verb 'the'!

Two hundred times!

Stempel!

Sit down!

We will talk about this later!

Inside!

Sit here!

Sit down!

You too!

My best pupil!

Mister Profess..

Quiet!

Look at me!

Where did you get those photos?

I,... I don't know.

Speak in English!

And don't lie to me!

Where did you get those photos?

Someone must have put them

in my books.

So,.. so, and you want me

to believe that?

At night?

Do not go where at night?

The whole class go every night

to the "Blue Angel".

Where?

The "Blue Angel".

"Blue Angel"?

"Der Blaue Engel"?

Leave now!

We'll talk later!

Here!

Come here, Lola!

Here's the cash!

Guys, tonight

I'm gonna get a man

A man, a real man

Stop!

Stay where you are!

So, how did you like my bedroom?

So you are...

the artist Lola Lola?

Sorry, you'll have to talk my language...

What?

You are the actress Lola Lola?

Police officer, huh?

But allow me, my name is

Immanuel Rath...

professor

of the local school!

Then you ought to know enough

to take off your hat!

I must ask you to stop undermining

the morals of my class!

So, you have nothing else to do?

After all, professor,

you can't blame the problem, can you?

As a man of honor,

I'd better leave...

I'm compromising you.

If you behave,

you can stay.

Catch!

Well, professor, how do

you like me now?

Ha, hold your horses.

I, huh,...

where's my hat?

If you don't want to drink,

can leave!

What fruit are you

hanging out with now?

Professor?

Of English and Literature!

Doctor Immanuel Rath!

A real professor.

True professor.

Not a professor like you...

I am delighted to meet one of

the town's eminent personalities.

Why didn't you call me?

Am I the manager here or am I not?

Call you why?

Out!

Out to the stage!

Pull up your pants!

Marvelous plan!

How dare you!

I came here to fight for us!

You are harboring my students!

Students?

Yes, you are harboring

my students!

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Stay where you are!

Stop! Stop!

Stop! Stop!

Where did you leave

your hat this time?

Please, sit down.

And he didn't say a thing, huh?

Not a sound.

He's afraid of us.

I love you.

Nonsense!

Now he's so sad.

So sad.

You stupid fool!

You ruined the whole number!

Didn't I tell you to keep the kids out?

That'll do.

He's coming!

Who?

The professor!

No, no, gentlemen.

Not through the bar!

Into the basement!

Good evening, Professor!

What a pleasant surprise!

Come in, Professor!

I knew you'd come back.

They always come back to me.

I,... I only need to exchange, huh...

I forgot my hat and...

I must have completely confused it.

And you didn't come on my account?

Please sit down!

I hate it the way

Here!

How do you like my eyes?

You don't like them, huh?

Oh yes, still... beautiful.

Your temper seems to have improved

since yesterday.

I'm afraid I was

a little, huh,...

...excited

Hmm, you had scared me to death!

Pardon!

Be careful, Mister Professor,

don't let one over.

Now you're entirely a mess!

Steady!

Come on! Let's go to work!

You know,...

...you know,

you're not at all bad looking...

O, poor baby!

Poor baby!

Mama's little pet, oo,...

Did I hurt you?

Nein, euh... No.

Feel a bit better?

Ja, euh... Yes.

Mama's little pet...

Why are there no drinks

being served?

He must be rich enough.

What?

Yes, yes, yes,...

You cannot continue like this.

There's a sailor

out there and his wallet is bursting.

Why are you telling me?

Send Guste!

Are you crazy? It's for you!

Nothing doing... I'm an actor!

Not a champagne cooler!

You have to

a conception of your profession.

Good evening!

my dear.

Thomas, captain of the John Thomas.

Just came in form Calcutta.

From my cargo!

Leave me alone!

Get out of here!

Are you crazy?

He ordered champagne.

But I'm not going to have you...

Uncivilized brute! Get out!

Is it your papa?

How dare you molest this lady?

Do you have a subscription

to "this lady"?

But Professor,...

Silence! Shut up!

I'll take care of this.

Out! Out!

But Professor! Who do

you think you are?

Miserable procurer!

You have no right...

How can you throw out this customer?

This man ordered champagne!

I'll pay for everything!

Get out!

He called me an uncivilized brute.

They want to throw me out of here...!

I only performed my duty.

Now, don't get excited, Professor.

They didn't stay very long.

Here's how...

Cheers!

Excuse me, Professor,

but the police are here.

The police?

I think you'd better beat it, Professor.

I hope they get along

down there...

The gentleman claims

he was assaulted here.

I can't understand a word.

What did he say?

He claims someone hits somebody.

He wanted to kill me...

kill me!

Who did?

Where is he then?

Where is that rascal?

Disappeared!

Arrest this one, officer.

He attacked me on the stage!

Sure. Leave me alone

with that nonsense.

Where are you hiding,

you rascal?

What is it you want?

You devil!

I wasn't even here.

I've finally got you.

Get out of here!

Your time has come!

Get out of here.

You too!

Brats!

That's him!

He wanted to kill me, officer!

Arrest him!

Excuse me, Professor...

He insulted me.

This man wants

to press charges against you.

Very well!

I will press charges, too!

What do you mean,

"press charges"? Arrest him!

- Be quiet!

- Nobody'll make me shut up!

We'll see to that.

Off to the police station!

He tried to kill me.

" Uncivilized brute", he called me!

I won't put up with this!

I assume you realize

the consequences

of this incident for you.

Take that cigarette

out of your mouth!

Do you hear me?

Away with that cigarette!

Confess!

What did you come here for?

The same as you, Professor.

Get out!

You haven't heard

the last of this!

Fine job, Professor!

Here, have a drink!

"Garbage"!

Miserable wretches!

You haven't heard the last of this!

You haven't...

For God's sake,

what's wrong, Professor?

I'll be all right.

I'm better already.

Those hooligans!

You've chosen a fine profession!

You shouldn't get so upset.

Damn that bell!

What's going on here?

The place is half empty already!

Quit complaining!

Who brought the Captain in?

All right, get going!

Come on out, Professor.

And listen.

It'll make you feel better.

You gave me quite a punch...

but I'm not the kind

to bear a grudge.

Professor, I'll get you

some special medicine...

from my personal pharmacy.

Put this behind your necktie!

You really think this will help?
