Dinah Was

The high price of fame is revealed in Oliver Goldstick’s roof-raising and soul-stirring portrait of American blues legend Dinah Washington. In 1959, “The Queen of the Blues” fights for her rights in the lobby of Las Vegas’ Sahara Hotel where she is scheduled to perform, but where she is not allowed to stay. Dinah Was brilliantly weaves together memories of her life and loves with live performances of her classic hits including “What A Diff’rence A Day Makes,” “I Wanna Be Loved” and “Come Rain or Come Shine.” Charles Towers directs.
