Seven Sinners (1940) starring Marlene Dietrich, John Wayne. Dietrich plays Bijou, a south-sea island hopping singer who seems to bring trouble wherever she goes. Wayne plays Lieutenant Dan Brent of the U.S. Navy, the man she falls in love with. It's a fairly entertaining film, full of fist-fights and bar riots; but it all hangs on the romance between Dietrich and Wayne. I wasn't convinced -- she was six years older than him at the time the film was made, and it shows. A lot of people must have found her appealing, but I don't. For me, the film gets a Grade: B
