If you saw the movie "Midnight in Paris" you will know that many scenes were set in Paris during the 20s 30s and 40s. (spoiler) I was delightfully surprised that Josephine Baker was referenced. But maybe you missed it... Woody Allen mentioned Bricktop,a woman who had a nightclub where ex-patriots hung out. If you are not a student of everything JB like me, you wouldn't get it. Many names of writers and some musicians were menitoned...but Josephine Baker's name was not. Yet there was a glamorous woman with the hair and pearls a'la Baker. I was happy to see her. But should her name have been mentioned?
P.S. I loved the movie!
