“Josephine Baker is a phenomenal presence — mugging for the camera, winking at us, playing up the humor in delightfully unpredictable ways. Her singing is marvelous, her dancing so loose and free that you start to forget the plot and just lose yourself in her moves.”
—Vulture 

Developed as a star vehicle for Josephine Baker, already a sensation in Europe, ZOUZOU marks the talking debut for the icon and puts her charm, wit, and confidence on display in a variety of musical numbers while showcasing her acting chops as a laundress who saves a chorus show.
