Not in the Angel, and even more so in the Witness to the Prosecution, that we watched last night. A horrible person, and a horrible actress. While in the Angel she hardly had to do any acting, in the Witness a couple of scenes called for it, and she fell flat on her unpleaqsant face - expecially while delivering her "Damn you!..." speech. I can take some of her singing, if not too much, but acting... But not her singing in the Witness - a sore reminder of how poorly the German language fits singing. It works great with Schubert, but Marlene's choppy, hard and almost hostile delivery all created an unpleasant moment.
