If you love Luis Bunuel and/or Benny Hill this is for you. It dates from 1928 and features a brief appearance by the legendary Josephine Baker.

Warning: Contains female nudity and mild disrespect for the cloth.

Baker is just one of many great performers who didn't spend enough time in front of the cameras. I've been looking at British music hall performers- all of them legends- most of them surviving in pitiful little rags of movies.
