Title: Mel Torme steals the show!
Review: The best thing about this film is Mel Torme singing "and All That Jazz" with a group of swinging jazz musicians who have the whole club rocking. Mel's smooth-as-honey golden voice bounces through this joyous number with great verve and confidence as the camera pans over to a poster advertising The Supremes at Lincoln Center in 1965.Frank Sinatra, Jr. is cute and innocent sporting a pair of the most luscious juicy lips I've ever seen on a white boy. Are Sinatra and Sammy really playing those trumpets? Of course, Satchmo plays, sings, and acts his way into everybody's heart.It's good to see Cicely Tyson playing a girlie "Audrey Hepburn" role before she was typecast as Hollywood's "strong black woman".Unfortunately the story is weak, the lines are trite and the dialog sounds forced and over amplified...because of a cheap sound stage? "A Man Called Adam" looks and feels like an amateur budget film filled with some of the best talent in show business.
