A Circa 1990s Unfolded German Commercial Poster (made to be sold directly to the public; measures 23 1/2" x 35 1/4" [60 x 90 cm]) (Learn More) Zouzou, the 1934 Marc Allegret French romantic musical (an unusual story of a black girl and a white man who are raised as brother and sister as children, but when they grow up, she is in love with him, and when he is accused of a crime, she tries to become a successful performer so she can earn money for his defense) starring Josephine Baker (in the title role as Zouzou), Jean Gabin, Pierre Larquey, Yvette Lebon, Illa Meery, and Palau. Note that Josephine Baker was a black African American stage performer, singer, and actress from the 1920s to the 1960s, who spent much time on stage, and made only a few movies. She went to Europe and achieved enormous success (and notoriety) in the Follies Bergere and other shows, because she danced nude in some of her dances. She only starred in two movies, both in the 1930s, Zou-Zou and Princess Tam-Tam, but she appeared in smaller roles in some movies in the 1920s and the 1940s and 1950s. Note that this movie was shown in France in 1934, and in other countries in the next few years after that, but it was not exhibited in the U.S., no doubt because of the interracial romance and Miss Baker's sexuality. It was finally released in the U.S. in 1989. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Rene Peron Condition: very good to fine. There are some minor creases scattered throughout the poster (mostly around the edges). The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays well. Learn More about condition grades
