Tay Garnett’s lightweight but diverting comedy starts as it finishes - with Dietrich’s sultry and flirtatious cabaret singer Bijou facing deportation from yet another south-east Asian island following an extravagant brawl that has wrecked the Seven Sinners bar in which she was performing.
Synopsis by Hal Erickson. Set in the South Seas, Seven Sinners stars Marlene Dietrich as a cabaret singer whose reputation as a troublemaker has gotten her kicked out of one port of call after another.
Hot off her hit “Destry Rides Again”, Marlene Dietrich is back and sailing the south seas as a fiery songstress who leaves nothing but lovelorn destruction in her wake.
