A Man Called Adam on Blu-ray, DVD and digital [read more]
Now you has jazz
STUDIOCANAL are delighted to announce the release of a brand-new restoration of A MAN CALLED ADAM, a musical drama which tackles racism in 1960s America - a fascinating and important example of black film history and an evocative celebration of the 60s jazz era.
Talented jazz musician Adam (Sammy Davis Jr.) appears to have it all, but an inner anger and a tormented past threaten to destroy his career. When he meets jazz legend Willie Ferguson (Louis Armstrong) and falls in love with his granddaughter (Cicely Tyson), a straight-talking civil rights activist, Adam begins to question his lifestyle, and resolves to tame his drinking and wild behaviour. But despite his new-found love, Adam is haunted by the shadows of his past. Can he escape his demons, before they destroy him entirely?
A MAN CALLED ADAM will be screened at the Edinburgh International Film Festival (18 - 25 Aug) and the Cinema Rediscovered Festival (28 July - 1 Aug) at Bristol's Watershed and is available to buy on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital from 16TH AUGUST and is available to pre-order at the link above.
