^ Bit of an old topic, but the soundtrack is practically impossible to find without spending an arm and a leg for it.
There are many that say this movie is like a metaphor for African Americans in 1940s Hollywood--they went through the same troubles as Danny does in the film. While I can't say for sure if this is true, or an allegory for that time period, it wouldn't surprise me. The film flopped because there was no marketing. I don't think I even knew this film existed until years after the fact. I think its a fun film, but not one I think is going to get repeated viewings--Danny's rise to fame so quickly is just simply too unrealistic and sappy for me.
