Until 90 minutes ago I was completely ignorant of the apparent fact that Michael Curtiz‘s Young Man With A Horn (’50), a melodramatic pseudo-biopic about Bix Beiderbecke, who self-destructed at the grand old age of 28, was once titled Young Man of Music.
Wiki excerpt: In her authorized biography, Doris Day described her experience making the film as “utterly joyless”, as she had not found working with Kirk Douglas to be pleasant. Douglas said that he felt her ever-cheerful persona was only a “mask” and he had never been able to get to know the real person underneath. Day countered that while Douglas had been “civil”, he was too self-centered to make any real attempt to get to know either her or anyone else.
