"Princess Tam Tam"
1935
Directed by Edmond Greville

Perhaps the best of her six features, Josephine Baker stars in this exotic Pygmalion-like musical comedy about a French author who goes to North Africa to write a novel, but becomes distracted--then entranced--by a native girl whom he transforms into a "princess." Shot partly on location in Tunisia, Princess Tam Tam allows Josephine a chance to display her impish, comedic charm, as well as her erotic and evocative talents. "Josephine Baker…the one and only…astonishing," wrote The New York Post. French with English subtitles.
77 minutes.
