You can watch it online at this link or below:
Wikipedia says, "Following the film's premiere in December 1927 in Stockholm, it received almost unanimously positive reviews from film critics."
Please join me at the T Stands for Tuesday blogger gathering at Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog. I'll be having a cup of spice tea (an instant mix I make every year from a recipe that was called Russian tea). My recipe is here.

DeleteThe film sounds so interesting and received such amazing reviews 😁. I'm loving your cup and saucer today, so pretty - Happy T Tuesday! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteShe was the first black woman to star in a major film.
DeletePretty cup. Your recipe sounds a bit like Bigelow's Constant Comment which was my MIL favorite blend
ReplyDeleteI love constant comment!
DeleteA cup of tea and a movie is a great idea. I don’t know this film but would like to check it out. Not that that is unusual for me. Interesting to have Josephine Baker in it. I knew she sang (right?) but did t know she made lots of movies. Hope I’m right about that. Happy T day. Hugs Erika
ReplyDeleteShe started as a dancer. She was a civil rights activist and refused to perform for segregated audiences.
DeleteWhat a pretty cup and saucer! Happy T Day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI sampled the film -- looks quite stylized as if they were showing us the 1920s. Josephine Baker was quite a character, wasn't she?
ReplyDeletebe well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
It was made in the 1920's, after all. She really was a woman ahead of her time.
DeleteYour tea sounds delicious!I am off to have a look at the recipe.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
My recipe doesn't include sugar, while the original does, but there's so much other sugar in it! There can be such a thing as too much sugar lol
Deletesuch a lovely cup and saucer-but oh my- that rich deep colored tea looks like coffee to me;) Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteI take my coffee black ;)
DeleteNow that film sounds interesting. She was quite an amazing character but I'm not familiar with the film. And I love your pretty cup!
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard of the film and can't remember how I happened across it. She was amazing!
Deleteyou and I have so much in common when it comes to movies. This is a fascinating movie. I love just about any type of spice tea. Have a good day.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a fascinating film. One sign of fall for me is when I start drinking the spice tea :)
DeleteJosephine Baker was amazing and way ahead of her time. I don't know how she managed to become so successful in the 20s.
ReplyDeleteHappy T-Day. Stay safe and well. Hugs, Eileen
I agree! She's a wonder :)
DeleteI am fascinated by Josephine Baker so I will be back to watch this another day! I love your cup and saucer! Belated Happy T Day, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteI can't believe I missed this. Here I thought I was almost caught up visiting T Tuesday participants.
ReplyDeleteI really LOVE Josephine Baker. She was a gem and SO ahead of her time. I'm surprised she made it at all during those times. Heck, she would still be sitting in the back of the bus in the 50s, even with her fame.
I LOVE your cup and saucer. Is it by Royal? They look like Memory Lane Pink to me. That's the same company that made my Grandmother's Old Curiosity Shop china. Thanks for sharing your film and the cup and saucer filled with coffee with us for T this week, dear friend.
Could be. I don't remember the pattern name, and the kitchen cabinet is waaay over there ;)
