While Sammy Davis Jr. jumped at the chance to play Sportin’ Life. Leading man Sidney Poitier had to be convinced by friends and management to take the role. Even then, for all of his talents singing wasn’t one of them so he’s dubbed by Robert McFerrin Sr., the first black man to sign a contract with the New York Metropolitan Opera.

I don't want to think ... I want to drink.

Anna Lucasta, the 1959 film starring Eartha Kitt & Sammy Davis Jr as well as a stellar supporting cast had an interesting history.
Originally written as a play by Philip Yordan depicting a Polish American family, it was rewritten by American Negro Theater Director Abram Hill + Henry Wagstaff Gribble for an all African-American cast. After the success of this new version the script headed to Hollywood for a film version in 1949 ... but filmed with a white cast it was not a success.
