Bob Fosse is a genius. I know this movie was panned but I love it. And Sammy Davis Jr is so talented. He was so much more than Frank Sinatras side kick.
I am absolutely LOVING the “hip” version of the commandments 😂 1. Thou shalt dig thy neighbor as thou wouldst have him dig thee = Love thy neighbor as thyself. 2. Thou shalt not put down thy mommas and thy papas = Honor thy father and thy mother. 3. Thou shalt not swing with another cat’s chick = Thou shalt not commit adultery. 4. Thou shalt not blow thy minds on school nights and national holidays = Thou shalt honor the sabbath and keep it holy. (This one is kind of a stretch, I’ll admit. 😊)
This could have been one of the greatest numbers in the history of film...IF ONLY IF ONLY they had used actual teenagers to play the hippies. Surely somewhere in the casting pool of 1968 Hollywood there had to have been a few dozen 18-25-year-olds who were able to sing and dance. I would even be willing to approve of a digital re-creation with Davis composited into a more age-appropriate chorus line.
How could bloody Michael Jackson compare to Sammie Davis Jr. Yet I recall a docco about Fleetwood Mac when Gen Z-ers went into a studio and saw spanshots of Sammie Davis Jr. and Frank Sinatra on the wall. They had no idea who Davis and Sinatra were....!

This is the first I heard anyone to refer Sammy Davis Jr as a side kick.
