Reminds me of AGT.....


I was watching Americas Got Talent tonight and started thinking of this movie. I wonder how far Don Franklin and crew would get on the show. I love this movie but its almost never on. I wish it was on more.

Like the other talent competitions, of course the judges on Americas Got Talent have different opinions of what real talent is. When Fast Forward first came out, I remember hearing about how Don Franklin and crew were formally trained in dance and were also hand picked by Sidney Poitier. I also read somewhere that Sidney saw the dance auditions of hundreds of dancers who wanted a part in the movie. So obviously there was heavy competition among serious performers. That said, I think that if the judges on AMG know anything at all about what dance entails, they would give Don and crew high ratings. Unless the judges had someone else in mind to win before even seeing the other contestants perform.
