Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Nnamdi Asomugha was an NFL cornerback before acting; Eugene Ashe specifically wanted a non-actor's rawness for Robert's musical authenticity.
The film deliberately echoes Black romance classics like 'Love Jones' and 'The Best Man' while reclaiming 1950s Harlem from typically white-centered period pieces.

I love the way the women and men dressed in this movie. God, I wish we all dressed this way today. Oh well
