Zou Zou

CrimeMusicalRomance92 min

Aspiring stage actress Zou Zou is pulled between the spotlight and a murder accusation when she tries to clear the childhood friend blamed for the crime. Josephine Baker is Zou Zou, a young performer whose chance comes when she steps in for the lead of a musical review, while Jean Gabin appears as the friend whose arrest sets the story in motion. Made in France in 1934, the film pairs a backstage romance with Baker’s musical numbers and a plot built around loyalty, ambition, and a sudden brush with scandal.
