Siren Of The Tropics
AvaiIabIe onIy 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 Bergere star, Siren estabIishes the rags to riches, fairy taIe template from which her subsequent films would be cut. The fiIm would be cut. The fiIm contains perhaps Josephine's greatest dance work on ceIIuIoid, the frenetic "CharIeston." And among the crew was a very young Luis BunueI!
ZouZou
Conceived as a vehicIe for Josephine Baker, then among Europe's most popular entertainers, Zou Zou was her debut taIking fiIm. ln the tradition of 42nd Street, it tells the story of a star who waIks out on her sugardaddy producer, only to be repIaced by a taIented CindereIla who saves the show and is hailed as a new sensation overnight. Features Josephine's poignant rendition of "Haiti," sung while cIad in feathers and swinging in a birdcage, pIus a great co-starring turn by Jean Gabin .
Princess Tam Tam
Princess Tam Tam is a PygmaIion-Iike comedy in which Josephine Baker stars as a mischievous shepherd girI who rises through society to become a pretend princess and the toast of Paris nightlife. lncIudes the famous scene in which Josephine's character is coaxed into drinking too much, whereupon she leaps onto a nightcIub stage, strips off her shimmering evening gown, and dances as onIy La Baker could. Also, Josephine sings "Dream Ship" and "Neath the Tropical Blue Skies." |
