I'm gonna be completely straightforward here and tell you that I thought "Zou-Zou" (from 1934) was pretty terrible (for the most part).
And, speaking about actress, Josephine Baker - I was really expecting her apparently dynamic presence to dazzle me in a big way. But, in the long run - Baker's screen-charisma bordered on being totally forgettable (throughout).
And, if all of the above wasn't disappointing enough as it was - This 90-minute French production didn't come to life until its last 20 minutes and by that point I was too bored with "Zou-Zou" to care about what the heck happened in the story, one way or the other,
