Critic Reviews
-
J. Hoberman, Village Voice
[Baker's] clownish backfield-in-motion Charleston shimmy is unlike anything else in the movie and perhaps unlike anything else anyone ever did.
-
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
The only reason to see this is the two numbers featuring the kooky, energetic and dazzling Josephine Baker.
-
Phil Hall, Film Threat
Painfully awful.
