DRD Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Current critical consensus is that this is a not exactly a classic. However, it is a time capsule of the late sixties scene and it has an appearance by the Cal Tjader Quintet. Unfortunately, it is not on DVD or VHS for that matter. The stars are Mary Ann Mobley and John Saxon. If anyone has taped it off television, I'll pay you for a copy and you'll get an acknowledgement. I need it as research material for my biography of Cal Tjader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 (edited) Hi - I stumbled over another movie, too, while researching the one Tjader 45 still missing in my collection - Fantasy 540 - Cal Tjader: As I Love You b/w I've Waited So Long "I've Waited So Long" was also issued on LP and CD, but "As I Love You" never was - and I found a list of songs used in this movie crediting a version of this song to singer Jeri Southern. Maybe the 45 was released in conjunction with that movie? Here are the data on the movie: • THE BIG BEAT [1958] Universal International - ca. 86 min. Regie: Will Cowan Produzent: Will Cowan Darsteller: Gogi Grant, William Reynolds, Andra Martin, Jeffrey Stone Songs: Fats Domino - The Big Beat Fats Domino - I'm Walkin' Alan Copeland - As I Love You George Shearing Quintet - As I Love You Mills Brothers - You're Being Followed Del Vikings - Can't Wait Gogi Grant - You've Never Been In Love Gogi Grant - Call Me Gogi Grant - Lazy Love Rose Marie mit The Lancers & Paulette Sisters - It's Great When You're Doing A Show Diamonds - Where Mary Go Diamonds - Little Darlin' Jeri Southern - I Waited So Long Cal Tjader Quintet - I Waited So Long Four Aces - Take My Heart from the website of a German Rock'n'Roll collector - http://freenet-homepage.de/phranc/ - I will contact him about the movie.

I am also familiar with "The Big Beat," yet another movie Tjader was in that is not available. Al Torre has told me about the group's appearance.

Thanks for the response- Duncan Hi Duncan, I've been writing articles about various musicians for the magazine Wax Poetics since it first came out nearly 10 years ago and have been aiming to do something on Tjader for awhile. Then, in the process of researching I came across your efforts. Has your book been published yet? Will it be soon? I'd be interested in talking to you about doing something for Wax Poetics on Cal's life and legacy. If you're interested, please contact me at allenthayer at gmail. thanks, allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
