The music of Duke Ellington is given a
film treatment by Martin Ritt with Paul Newman (of all people) as the
trombone playing composer, Sidney Poitier as his best friend/sax player,
Joanne Woodward as Newman's love interest, Dianne Carroll as the
conscious black chick for Poitier and (thank heavens) Louis Armstrong as
himself. There are also a couple of good supporting performances from
Barbara Laage (as Marie Séoul) and André Luguet (as René Bernard).
