Well he sang & danced up a storm in Robin & The Seven Hoods too!

Is the baby's daddy rich? I think the baby in the song was a white child, am I wrong?

It aint necessarily so- just ask Mike Johnson or Mike Pence.

Sammy Davis maintained his physical identity throughout his intire lifetime even I could identify him from before my times!!

Is that Sammy Davis Jr there? Good history in film making!!

Blackfolks dancing on the old plantation,its just stereotypicaly racist. Dont you just love it.

Raciest,oh me oh my ,just racist.

What really enraged captain was when Luke mocked his tick.

The American Film Institute voted this song in their 100 Movie Songs Of All Time. Rightfully so too.

Got to be a top 10 line from Cinema yeah well sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand

Because Sammy Davis was under contract to another record company, the soundtrack LP substituted the voice of Cab Calloway.

No need to apologize. It's not your fault the Gershwin heirs have been sitting on this for years so that the one first rate print that still exists can't be seen. It'll become public domain eventually. The movie isn't good enough, but it deserves to be seen.

He should’ve been nominated for the Golden Globe award or for an Oscar for this role.., because he was very much worthy of this performance in a musical film…

Tip für Sektengründer: Methusalem starb an Corona ;-)

This and Mr Bojangles I had the pleasure of seeing this movie when it came out. Been singing this song ever since.

Sammy Davis Jr so owned this part to the point where I think some of his mannerisms have slipped into most if not all interpretations of the role since - which is all the more impressive when you realize that this movie his been off the market and inaccessible to mainstream audiences for decades.

Could somebody please say what is the source of this clip? Name of the movie (I presume "Porgy and Bess" but what year / producer / director ... ) please?

There is a Cab Calloway performance of this song that is equally spectacular. From Ed Sullivan show.

Epic scene. Should be teaching in schools (with a deep explanation of social interactions, of course).

Sammy is wonderful here. But the part was actually written for Cab Calloway. Unfortunately, he didn’t get to perform it until late in life.

Great Movie but I think the Gershwin family are fighting with someone so no release of the movie I’m amazed to see this on UA-cam

SEXY Sportin' Life! 💋

Definitely the best song and dance I have ever seen.

Oscar Peterson Trio does a beautiful version of this. Miles Davis with Gil Evans's rendition of this song is legendary.

Original release 1959.

Great scene! Sammy Davis Jr does an excellent job as Sportin Life, acting as the living embodiment of Temptation. Singing, dancing and swaying the crowd towards sin! With the children being the first among them to be led astray.

I'm surprised that white actors and dancers weren't blackfaced in this production. But I remembered my elementary school on the 1970s showed this movie during an assembly. It was a mixed race progressive school(blacks,whites,Hispanics, and asians)

this film is so difficult to find...thanks for this excerpt

Seems more truth coming out since youtube worldwide

Gracias. Lo comparto.

Mellow

One of the reasons I love the internet, I was thinking about this, and here it is, Sammy Freaking Davis Jr in his prime 💙

Goosebumps when I realized that’s Sammy! 💛

If we were to count all the Oscar's and other awards and recognitions our people should have received that number would be staggering . .

Mom thought this was so important that she let us stay up late and see it when we were kids, and it was the Late Show on TV that night; all the next day we were both singing "It Ain't Necessarily So!" 😄

What we got there? Got a Lucas Jackson.

Someone once said, Sammy Davis Jr. was born to play this role. He was the most versatile entertainer. Super talented.

I remember this from the movie. It made such an impression on me as a young adult.

TALENTED KIDS ( The performers. Sammy, too!)

It's a real pity that we don't get more of the songs of this wonderful musical which I saw in London in 197o and 1971. Willie Grant.

I would love to own a copy of this great movie with Dorothy Dandridge, Sammy Davis Jr. Sidney Poitier, Pear Bailey, and Diahann Carroll. This is a classic. It needs to be restored in UK/Blu Ray. Imagine what this would sound like in surround sound. A great treasure.

is this Diahann Carroll in this scene ???

The ONLY BLACK DANCING JEW in Hellyweird.Sammy is a CROWD PLEASING PERFORMER even to this day cause he DiD EVERTHING,sing,dance act & knows a good pUBLICITY move when he saw IT<> still here during Rona lockdown in 2021 to stave off boredom<>

An angry church lady comes in to bust the party up and spoil the sinners' fun!

As great as Sammy Davis was, it seems to me that Cab Calloway was born for this part -- especially this song. At 52, Maybe Calloway was too old for the part. Or maybe he wasn't a good enough actor.

The Gospel According to Sporting Life is rather colorful. When you hear that entrance music, you know there's trouble brewing in the form of a dancing con artist.

This is the hardest movie in the world to find.
