Not to be missed! Silence notwithstanding, Josephine Baker shouts out and sings the song of her wild heart. She is mesmerizing...a feast for the eyes...truly dancing to the heartbeat of her own drum!

A slice of history I'd never seen. I did a paper in college about the actresses like Josephine and Lena and Dorothy, so this is wonderful to see the actual film. Technology has been great for making these lost treasures accessible. Interesting commentary on the social mores or lack of them at the time...
She is so adorable and she is unique--an original who has never been equalled in the years since.
You have to see her to understand.
