Reviews
" Watching the play of the three protagonists Adorf, Sukowa and Mueller-Stahl, is cinema-like the best. In addition, Lola is characterized by something that is not found in any other film Fassbinder -. Humour "
" In the guise of a popular story told dime - Cooper sets the moral of the Adenauer era ' bare, although it does not shy away from clichés and garish kitsch. The mannered staging the satirical intention is often an obstacle. ( Second part of Fassbinder's economic miracle trilogy ' and impressive West German debut of the GDR actor Armin Mueller-Stahl ) "
For the novel: "He, Cooper could, imagine that I would be the other male lead, the tycoon Schuckert play. Now at that time was the Blue Angel is one of my dream roles, and I was a little disappointed, I knew Mueller-Stahl, and of course, was hardly convinced that he would be miscast and I to the right for the lead role. So I sulked around a bit until Berling, who knew the script, winking at me and intimated that Schuckert was as good a role, but in any case the better, more suitable for me. He was right. " ( Mario Adorf in THE TIME. No. 13 of 18 March 2004 )
