“The screen all but bursts with [Davis’] intense talent. It is an awesome experience merely to witness him hold a pause.” – Los Angeles TimesAdam, a brilliant trumpet player, is burdened with guilt following a car accident in which his wife and child were killed. He finds happiness briefly with another woman but turns to drink and is wrongly convicted as a drug-addict when arrested after a drunken brawl. Desperate for money, his agent books him a series of one-night stands and one night, while playing a farewell number with the band, Adam collapses. The audience believe him to be drunk but in fact it is his final curtain.
Starring: Sammy Davis Jr., Ossie Davis, Cicely Tyson, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra Jr., Peter Lawford, Mel Tormé, Lola Falana, Johnny Brown, and Ja’net Dubois.
