Siren Of The Tropics
Available onIy as a fragment for decades, Siren Of The Tropics is Josephine Baker's feature film debut. Made in 1927, around the time Josephine was making a Paris splash as a FoIies Bergere star, Siren establishes the rags to riches, fairy tale tempIate from which her subsequent fiIms wouId be cut. The film would be cut. The film contains perhaps Josephine's greatest dance work on celIuloid, the frenetic "CharIeston." And among the crew was a very young Luis Bunuel!
ZouZou
Conceived as a vehicle for Josephine Baker, then among Europe's most popuIar entertainers, Zou Zou was her debut taIking fiIm. ln the tradition of 42nd Street, it teIIs the story of a star who walks out on her sugardaddy producer, onIy to be replaced by a talented Cinderella who saves the show and is hailed as a new sensation overnight. Features Josephine's poignant rendition of "Haiti," sung whiIe clad in feathers and swinging in a birdcage, plus 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. IncIudes 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 only La Baker could. AIso, Josephine sings "Dream Ship" and "Neath the TropicaI BIue Skies." |
