Didn't Oscar Levant (sp?) play the funny/touching down-and-out
pianist in Montmartre in the movie "An American in Paris", with that wonderful
scene in which he dreams that he finally plays as soloist in a concert
(Gershwin's music, naturally), in which he is also the conductor and all
the musicians?
If anybody knows more about him, as acto, musician and author, I'd be
glad to hear.

-------------------------------
To find out "more about [Levant] as an actor, musician, and author", I
recommend reading his book "Myself Among Others", which is an enjoyable
autobiographical bunch of reminiscences.
