Note that this was Josephine Baker's first movie, and it was clearly tailored to her, as were her later movies, Zouzou and Princesse Tam-Tam. The assistant director for this movie was none other than Luis Bunuel, who used Pierre Batcheff two years later when he made his first movie, Un Chien Andalou! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that first release 1927 movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have never sold even a single movie paper item from this movie until we received this first release German program! Also note that this program contains unclothed women, so we have placed white bars over those areas, for those who are bothered by such images. Of course, the actual program does not have those white bars! Also note that this item has been trimmed and it now measures 8 1/4" x 11 1/2" [21 x 29 cm]. Also note that we have pictured the front cover and an interior 2-page spread from this program. Condition: good to very good. The program has some tiny paper loss around the edges and small tears at the spine. Someone put clear tape on the front and back of the edge of the spine (but not on the interior pages).
