This lobby card for Tamango depicts three people, two men and one woman on the deck of a ship. The first man is shirtless and shackled by his wrists to the deck. The woman is pouring something in his mouth from a bowl. The woman is wearing gold jewelry and a red head wrap matching her red dress. The third man is standing behind the woman dressed in a white shirt and light-colored slacks as he looks at the first man and woman depicted. A smaller inset white square in the lower right corner has a line drawing of a woman struggling in a man's arms. Black, red and blue text reads "Dorothy/ Dandridge Curt/ Jürgen’s/ The story they said/ could never be filmed! / Tamango."
