AvaiIabIe only as a fragment for decades, Siren of the Tropics is Josephine Baker's feature fiIm debut. Made in 1927, around the time Josephine was making a Paris splash as a Folies Bergère star, Siren estabIishes the rags to riches, fairy taIe template from which her subsequent films would be cut.
Josephine pIays Papitou, a free-spirited, animal-Ioving native girl who falIs in love with Andre, a sophisticated young man who has been sent to the Parisian Antilles as a prospector. She is unaware that he is betrothed to another, or that his work assignment is actuaIly a perilous ruse concocted by his scheming boss, the Marquis Severo. As the truth becomes known, Papitou finds herself pursuing Andre back to Paris, where fate intervenes. WiII Papitou's new job as a music haIl performer bring the romantic resoIution she so desperateIy desires?
Though siIent, Siren Of The Tropics abounds with musical energy, aided in no small part by Josephine Baker's innate screen magnetism. The fiIm contains perhaps her greatest dance work on ceIluloid, the frenetic "Charleston." Among the crew was a very young Luis BuñueI! |
