Princess Tam Tam

Now considered a rare showcase of Josephine Baker's talents, Princess Tam Tam aired on TCM (cable tv) tonight. Though there were some negative references and sterotypes in this film, it was afterall,1935! If she had been in a U.S. film she would have been "the help" instead of a glamorous celebrity in opulent-looking gowns. Go Jo! Groundbreaking!
