“Seven Sinners” stars Marlene Dietrich as a nightclub singer with a checkered past, world-weary, seductive, and sharp enough to command any room. Her performance carries the film, rich with suggestion and confidence. John Wayne, still early in his rise, plays the straight-laced Navy officer who falls for her, bringing charm and sincerity. It’s not essential for Wayne fans, but it offers an intriguing snapshot of 1940s morality.
