The actress played the character of Shanghai Lily, a role that helped reinforce her status as an international Hollywood star. The film, shot for Paramount Pictures, is one of Dietrich's most famous collaborations with director Josef von Sternberg, with whom she made several landmark works in the early 1930s after the success of Der blaue Engel (The Blue Angel, 1930). Shanghai Express was a critical and commercial success, winning the Oscar for Best Cinematography in 1933. This image refers to the highly elaborate aesthetics of these films, characterized by sophisticated use of light and the face and figure of Marlene Dietrich, who became one of the major icons of classic cinema.
