5.0 out of 5 stars a missed opportunity, April 1, 2006

This review is from: A Man Called Adam [VHS] (VHS Tape)

sammy davis Jr. offered one of the screen's most riviting performces for the 1960's. Mr. Davis' acting is multi-dimensional and certainly worthy of an oscar nomination--which
he didn't get. at the time of the film's original release--on
screen love scenes between a black man & woman were taboo. because the film also dealt with the corrupt music business at
the time--it also earned the animous of the critics. american arts and letters missed an opportunity in not giving credit where credit was due.

The late Sammy Davis Jr. rules in this musical drama that includes a star-studded cast along with Louis Armstrong and Mel Torme.It's a must see,so please re-release this movie on vhs/dvd so that humble people such as myself can afford it!!
