Intro by film historian Foster Hirsch
Musician Rick Martin (Kirk Douglas) finds a sense of belonging in only one thing: the trumpet he bonded with as a young orphan. In his rise to artistic success, Martin struggles to maintain relationships as strong as the music he creates, and eventually he risks losing everything in a steady swirl of ignorance and alcohol. Doris Day plays the singer/savior Martin tosses aside in favor of sultry Amy North (Lauren Bacall), whose bisexuality stealthily slipped past the Hollywood censors.
