Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaChico Marx sued Warner Bros for $200,000 for damages and "payment owed for services rendered." Marx alleged that the filmmakers used his name many times in the film. Studio officials admitted that Marx's name had been used in the film, but were unclear about what services the comedian had rendered. The parties settled for $10,000.
- GoofsChico Marx is referred to early in the film. Gershwin mispronounces the name as "CHEE-ko", which generally continues to this day. Chico's name is correctly pronounced as "CHICK-o".

Worth watching.
The music was wonderful, I enjoyed watching the father of Alan Alda in the title role & I got one "mini surprise"! That was the solo song of a very young, enchanting Hazel Scott, accompanying herself on the piano. She was a musical prodigy on the piano from the age of 4 and the youngist student admitted to the Julliard School of Music at age 16. This was the last of her early film appearances, as she focused more on musical recordings and a TV series, until the late 50s. She also married Adam Clayton Powell Jr., noted congressman from Harlem & civil rights activist. Her 1955 album, "Relaxed Piano Moods," recorded with Charles Mingus and Max Roach was recently reissued on CD & named Album of the Month by National Public Radio.
