Dueling Pianos Competition (1977)
Needs Plugin: Flash |
Not Working?
It depicts a competition between "professors" (brothel pianists) to win $100 from John Stark in Sedalia, Missouri. Louis Chauvin, who is a better pianist but can't read/write music, teams up with Joplin and unleashes Maple Leaf Rag upon the public for the first time (this did not actually occur.)
Dick Hyman is playing the soundtrack and Billy Dee Williams is portraying Scott Joplin.
Scott Joplin by Universal Studios.
