StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

mamalv What a wonderful movie. It captures the blooming relationship between a stuffy military man on the run and a free spirited gypsy totally. Milland is on a mission with a young man to get a formula for a deadly gas from a man in Germany. Along the way they split up, and plan to meet again at a road crossing. In the mean time Milland is running and hiding from the Nazi's when he comes across Dietrich. She makes him up as a gypsy to hide his identity, and they go on their way to his destination. Even though Dietrich is dirty and messy, he becomes closer to her as he sees that she is a unique and wonderful woman. There are many lighthearted moments where Milland tells her to sit on her hands as she is constantly trying to seduce him. The pairing of these two stars is nothing short of magnificent. Milland is absolutely gorgeous and it is not a wonder that Dietrich is having a hard time keeping her hands off him. The war ends and he returns to her to be with her forever.

mark.waltz This flashback told tale is set up when British officer receives the titled earrings in the mail and lets loose with his story. It was World War II when Milland, on a secret mission in Germany, escaped from a prisoner of war camp and hooked up with lone gypsy Marlene Dietrich who helps him hide so he can complete a secret mission. Horny Dietrich latches on to him like tomato sauce onto spaghetti, pierces his ears and plants dark make-up upon him. Before you know it, Milland is telling Nazi soldiers their fortunes while realizing that finding Dietrich was the best thing that has yet happened to him."His blood will turn to milk and his bones will crumble!" Dietrich tells Milland of a former lover who ran off on her. Yet, he sticks around, determined to complete his mission and helping the Allies beat the Nazis. "Today in Germany, everybody is watched. Even the watchers", the inventor of a gas that the Germans want for destructive purposes and the British want to (allegedly) only keep out of the German's hands.The aging Dietrich, overloaded in dark make-up, overly long eye lashes and an excess of veils, is pure camp as the extremely over affectionate gypsy, with Murvyn Vye as one of her gypsy beaus who initially resents Milland. As silly as he looks in the dark make-up and earrings (like Othello on acid), Milland gives a subtle performance.In spite of being so silly, this is one of those truly enjoyable war films that may not represent any type of reality but is never dull. The title song is one of those odd musical moments in films that just come out of nowhere and makes you wonder if Gene Wilder was off in some distant castle bring a monster back to life.

Mitchel-331-787651 It just doesn't get any better than Golden Earrings! Ray Milland and Marlene Dietrich were fantastic on the screen together in this one and the story line/plot was highly entertaining, full of suspense, action and drama that kept me on the edge of my seat. It's one of those movies that will have you laughing, holding your breath in anticipation of what might happen next as well as gasping when it does!!Ray Milland is a British Intelligence officer who becomes a POW sole survivor seeking the secret of a poison gas formula meant for the Nazis. After escaping he meets up with Dietrich who is a gypsy and helps him stay alive during their travels while pursuing the formula. The real magic though is the romance which is developing between the two. It is just so much fun watching the transformation of Ray Milland from a stuffy British officer into the character he becomes that keeps you entertained. Marlene knows that she will never meet anybody quite like him ever again and she falls for him almost immediately.With an excellent supporting cast and the gorgeous scenery I gotta admit, I just adored everything about this movie and I could easily tell you the entire film but I dislike watching a movie someone has described in detail so I am going to stop here and just say PLEASE, PLEASE do not think twice about popping the popcorn, pulling up your favorite easy chair and plunking this one into the DVD player because you are in for a treat and a wonderful time! In my opinion Golden Earrings is what movie making was meant to be like! Enjoy!

cmyklefty Marlene Dietrich play a Gypsy who helps British spy (Ray Milland) during World War II. They try to stop the Nazis from using poisonous gases for war use. They get romantically involved with each other while there on the mission. A nice entertaining movie to watch.
