Because Sammy Davis was under contract to another record company, the soundtrack LP substituted the voice of Cab Calloway.

No need to apologize. It's not your fault the Gershwin heirs have been sitting on this for years so that the one first rate print that still exists can't be seen. It'll become public domain eventually. The movie isn't good enough, but it deserves to be seen.

You can request from the National Library Archives that you want to see it, and they schedule with you an appointment. Thats the only way you can see it.

He should’ve been nominated for the Golden Globe award or for an Oscar for this role.., because he was very much worthy of this performance in a musical film…

Sammy Davis Jr so owned this part to the point where I think some of his mannerisms have slipped into most if not all interpretations of the role since - which is all the more impressive when you realize that this movie his been off the market and inaccessible to mainstream audiences for decades.

I'm surprised that white actors and dancers weren't blackfaced in this production. But I remembered my elementary school on the 1970s showed this movie during an assembly. It was a mixed race progressive school(blacks,whites,Hispanics, and asians)

@J-sv9dp Жыл бұрын

Why are you surprised? Minstrel shows and the like were just one genre of “entertainment” among many and had all but died out by then anyway. Meanwhile, there was no shortage of renowned Black American actors at the time, several of whom had been starring in Hollywood films for decades by then. (As opposed to say, Asians and Native Americans for example, who were often played by white actors in the starring roles instead.) Porgy and Bess was a first with its exclusively black cast but it’s not as though all the black characters had been played by white people prior to that… In 1940, Paul Robeson even took the starring role in a film that was set in a Welsh mining village! (“Proud Valley”)

As great as Sammy Davis was, it seems to me that Cab Calloway was born for this part -- especially this song. At 52, Maybe Calloway was too old for the part. Or maybe he wasn't a good enough actor.
