A MAN CALLED ADAM (1966)

Special Features: 60th Anniversary | Intro by Film Noir Foundation founder and TCM host Eddie Muller on Oct. 10

Sammy Davis, Jr. like you have never seen him before! Davis’ portrayal of Adam, the tortured cornetist alternating between self-sabotage and rotten luck, remains as startling today as when it was released. Leo Penn keeps his directorial choices for this unrelentingly bleak noir simple yet powerful. The film showcases George Rhodes and Louis Armstrong as they tear up real New York City nightclubs!
