It was my lucky day because I managed to track down a Pierre Batcheff film !This is one of those pretty-boy roles he didn't like playing and according to his biography things didn't go too well with Josephine Baker behind the scenes, but their onscreen chemistry doesn't show that strain.
Georges Melchior as Comte Severo, a rich daddy who desires his own goddaughter
Pierre (20) as André Berval, who works for Severo and also has his eyes set on the goddaughter
Régina Dalthy as Lady Severo & Regina Thomas as Denise, the goddaughter/object of desire
Joséphine Baker (21) as Papitou
back when traveling was glamorous and the boats beautiful
the film had a number of scenes like this, where it seemed like they just had to have Josie show some skin
Pierre did some beautiful posing too
beautiful Paris
