A Man Called Adam
In a rare dramatic role, Sammy Davis, Jr. stars as a jazz trumpet player who seemingly has it all. Blaming himself for the traffic accident that killed his family, he begins a downward spiral that threatens to destroy all that he has worked so hard for. To make matters worse, he must also cope with prejudice from within the music industry. Louis Armstrong, Ossie Davis, Cicely Tyson, Frank Sinatra, Jr., and Mel Torme co-star.
