The legendary <strong>Josephine Baker<\/strong> stars as Zazu, a singer enlisted to break up the romance between a modern-day Romeo and Juliet. Bernard (Georges Marchal) and Claire (Micheline Presle) are in love, but their parents are feuding. His father, who\u2019s written a biography of Napoleon, has insulted her mother by proving that her great-great grandmother did not have an affair with the emperor. Baker\u2019s role is a departure from her earlier ones in that the film presents her not as a young woman looking for love and a musical career, but rather as an established star who owns her own nightclub (as she did in real life). Filmed during German bombing raids, <em>The French Way<\/em> (a.k.a. <em>Fausse alerte<\/em>) makes jokes about blackouts and air-raid shelters in a last burst of frivolity, just as the reality of World War II was setting in. It appears here in a beautiful restoration completed by Jeff Joseph for SabuCat Productions. (d. Jacques de Baroncelli, 74m, Digital)<\/p>\n<p>This screening will also feature <strong>special guest Donald Bogle<\/strong>, one of the foremost authorities on African Americans in Hollywood and an award winning author of nine books. His most recent book is <em>Hollywood Black: The Stars, the Films, the Filmmakers<\/em>, which has a foreword by the late director John Singleton.
