davis jr. documentary, it was shocking to me as someone who knew him my whole life. he was a man who knew on one level at the waters in bill robertson and jackson, martin luther king, archie bunker and eddie cantor and his intersection of lives was tremendous so that his life was relevatory to the times in which he lived and that's what you look for. >> sammy davis jr. in terms of intellectual challenge, he is one of the most challenging subjects i've ever come across. he was contradictory, and he was just someone i really had to wrestle with, to try to figure out how to categorize him and the way you do it in the film. it is by giving him different categories. activists, i forget what the other one is. entertainment. >> hipster, tried to categorize impressionist, hipster. we did try to categorize the chronology of his life in the guises he took on or felt he had to take on. it's a little bit like sports. if you are an entertainer, you choose what songs you sing and who plays you act in. those have tremendous external circumstances. you either hit the ball out of the ballpark or you don't. you look at this simultaneously. in terms of a performe
