Since there seemed to be a lot of interest when I posted about Oscar Levant the other week, on the occasion of his birthday anniversary, I thought I’d point out the fact that Turner Classic Movies: TCM is showing “Rhapsody in Blue” tonight at 10 ET. In this 1945 film, an alleged biography of George Gershwin, Levant plays a supporting role – as himself. The composer is played by Robert Alda, Alan Alda’s dad.

“Even the lies about Gershwin were being distorted.” – Oscar Levant
