In Seven Sinners, an exotic romance film released in 1940, Marlene Dietrich delivers a memorable performance as Bijou Blanche, a notorious cabaret singer. Dietrich, known for her intricate characters and daring defiance of gender norms, has long been an influential icon within the LGBTQIA+ community and cinema at large.

Beyond her character's captivating charm in Seven Sinners, Marlene Dietrich's off-screen persona and personal beliefs have vastly influenced LGBTQIA+ culture through her androgynous style and her unapologetic openness regarding her bisexuality. As such, she has stood as a pillar of strength and assured self-expression for the LGBTQIA+ community.

Film also stars John Wayne, Albert Dekker, Broderick Crawford, Anna Lee, Mischa Auer, Billy Gilbert, Richard Carle, Samuel S. Hinds, Oskar Homolka, Reginald Denny, Vince Barnett, Herbert Rawlinson, James Craig, William Bakewell, Antonio Moreno, and William B. Davidson. Directed by Tay Garnett.
