'The Blue Angel' Blu-ray Announced[teaser]The 1930 classic from Josef von Sterberg is getting an ultimate edition Blu-ray in December. [/teaser] In an early announcement to retailers, Kino Video says 'The Blue Angel' will hit Blu-ray on December 17. Emil Jannings ('The Last Laugh') stars as Professor Rath, the sexually repressed instructor of a boys' prep school.
