I consider Maximilian Schell´s doc film to be more for the hardcore fans and this one for the casual fans as it is more accessible.
It is true that certain aspects of her life were omitted such as her bi-sexuality and her complicated relationship with film director Josef von Sternberg. But for almost 2 hours, you´ll get a deep insight into the life of a fascinating woman from the beginning to the end.
This DVD is already out of print and so I´d suggest for you to buy it before it starts to sell for $200! You won´t regret it.. And summed up by saying GREAT doc. film!!!!. Currently Marlene Dietrich - Her Own Song has an overall rating of 8 over 10.
