503 Lola Montès (1955)

Her beauty brought powerful men down to their knees.  Her freedom brought down nations.  But how long can a woman flaunt the proprieties of Victorian Europe before she herself becomes a morality tale for the age?  Max Ophüls' lavish biopic of legendary dancer, mistress, and all-together provocative personality struggles with these very ideals... in gorgeous Cinemascope! *Come support the podcast and get yourself or someone you love a random gift at our merch store.  T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, stickers, and more!
