In 1936, The Garden of Allah was billed as Selznick’s showcase for Technicolor. It turned out to be a visually stunning film, with vibrant colour realism seldom seen in pictures. Bizarrely, the film was not nominated for Best Picture Oscar, as the Academy felt that “its natural beauty would outpoint conventional product”. Now fully restored and digitally re-mastered it still looks wonderful, even by today’s standards. Marlene Dietrich is Domini a young heiress who journeys to the Sahara in search of a new life after her father’s death. There she meets and marries Boris Androvsky (Charles Boyer), unaware of the bitter secret he is hiding. Boris is really brother Antonio, a monk who has fled a nearby monastery, breaking his vows and causing shock and dismay among his brethren. What will happen to them when Domini finally uncovers the truth behind her lover’s deceit?
