Many whites who hold key positions
in the government's mining operations
in mineral-rich Shaba have said they
feared the Zairian soldiers as much as
the rebels, and some said they wouldn't
return unless they were protected by
better-disciplined foreign troops.

Featuring the sensual photography of Bert Glennon and the sumptuous, baroque sets of great art
director Hans Drieir,. thisstory of Catherine the Great's use of "sexual politics" and her consequent
rise to power is von Sternberg's mostoextravogant film. Its erotic implications went right over the

by onv standard then existing or now prevnent.- .. it is relentless excursion into style. which taken
for granted in any work of art, is considered to be unpardonable in this medium."-JOSEF VON
