...watch this movie.
Seriously that's what cold winter weekends were made for anyway!!
If you haven't heard of Princesse Tam-Tam before, it's a B&W French film from 1935 featuring the Josephine Baker as Princess Tam-Tam. A french novelist is disgusted with the society life of his wife and her friends so he sets out to Africa to escape from it all. There he meets Alwina (Baker), whom he disguises as a Princess and brings back to Paris to spite his wife who is currently romancing with a Maharaja (obviously this is not an example of an ideal marriage).
If you've seen the film than you already know, and if you haven't you must!
*You will not be able to forget the image of her glittering eyes and jewels in the scene above - she captivates like none other.
