The Blue Angel (1979)
This book contains the novel by Heinrich Mann and the film (script and photos) by Josef von Sternberg.
The novel was originally published in German as Professor Unrat (1905).
A high school teacher's life is ruined when he meets a cabaret singer.
Interesting to note how very different the novel and film are. Just one example: the novel ends when he is arrested by the police, the film ends when he dies at his old school.
A cautionary tale on the bad things that can happen when a naive person falls in with rogues.
