Customer Reviews of The Lady Is Willing
Marlene Gets Maternal Marlene Dietrich stars in this comedy as an actress who rescues/kidnaps a two month old baby and decides to raise him as her son, a move that shocks all who know her. But since she is not financially stable or married, the odds of a successful adoption are against her. But marriage to baby doctor Fred MacMurray would certainly help her cause, and she goes after him. I found it hard to swallow Dietrich as a baby lover in the beginning, but she grew on me as the film progressed, and in the end she gives a believable performance. However, the script needed at least one more re-write and more laughs needed to be added to give the movie more life. It's not one of Dietrich's better known films, and I can understand why.
One of this reviewer's favorite Dietrich films!
This was one of the movies where Marlene could show her acting talents. She plays a Broadway actress who comes across an abandoned baby, and decides to keep the baby for herself. Being un-married, she needs to find a man to marry so she can adopt the child. Fred MacMurray plays the doctor who comes to the rescue. This is a pure fun movie to watch. Dietrich, as usual, wears the most outrageously gorgeous outfits, not to mention a few fabulously "screwy" hats, as they are referred to as in the film. While filming the movie, Dietrich had tripped over a toy firetruck while holding the baby. She twisted her body to protect the baby, but in doing so, she seriously sprained her leg in the fall. One of the famous Dietrich legs was in a cast! This caused quite a sensation in the press. The rest of the picture had to be shot with her legs covered. Dietrich was given one song to sing in the movie, "Strange Thing", which was the grand finale in her broadway show (in the movie). This was definately one of her best on-film singing performances, and quite a production, wearing an outfit only Dietrich could get away with. This film is a must for all Dietrich fans!
