Directed by Edmond T. Greville, Princess Tam Tam (1935) sought to capitalize on the screen success Josephine Baker had the previous year in the starring role of Zouzou (1934). The story focuses on a Tunisian peasant girl who is educated and introduced to Parisian high society. An interesting parallel comes when the girl becomes an exotic artistic muse in Europe, becoming the inspiration for paintings and sculptures, much as Josephine Baker had in real life. The whole cast does a wonderful job but as usual, it is Josephine Baker that is the true star of the production, delivering memorable musical and dance performances.
