[edit] Stage play

Does anyone know, was this a play before it was a film? There was an excellent production of this in Bucharest in 2001 under the Romanian name Îngerul Albastru (a literal translation of the German title) starring Maia Morgenstern as Lola Lola. I'm wondering if that would have been a new stage play adapted from the novel and/or the film, or a Romanian translation of an existing stage play. -- Jmabel | Talk 00:42, May 18, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Plot

And does anyone know: does the original novel end identically to the film? Or, in the novel, does Rath kill Lola as well as himself? -- Jmabel | Talk 00:53, May 18, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Suicide

I don't think (Un-)Ratt committed suicide, he just was very depressed and confused that night (the same of the cabaret scandal). And if I don't remember bad one of his hand was seized to the table -- though I saw Der Blaue Engel fifty times, this was a decade ago. --Zzzzzzus 19:54, 22 December 2005 (UTC)zzzzzzus

[edit] A couple things on plot and links

First, I saw the English-language version of this film in a German Cinema course and I think I remember my (German) professor say that the English and German versions of the movie had different endings. It would be helpful if someone could confirm this and write both plotlines in the article. (Looking online I see that the main story may have stayed the same, but there were subtleties that didn't make it to the American version -- if you're registered with IMDB look here: [1]).

Second, the link in the article to The Blue Angel redirects to Blue Angel, which is a disambiguation page including Der blaue Engel, which obviously links directly to this article, and The Blue Angel (1930 movie) which redirects here also.

It seems to me someone who knows should (if the above is true) include both storylines, or how the two films differed; and get rid of the link to The Blue Angel, or follow whatever is the usual procedure in cases such as this (with redirected, circular linking).Gaagaagiw 07:20, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
