Clint Eastwood is not only an actor and producer, but he is very much into music, specifically jazz. He is the executive producer of this informative film, Johnny Mercer – The Dream’s On Me, about legendary composer Johnny Mercer, whose songs have touched almost everyone on the planet.

Clips of Johnny Mercer singing his songs and talking about his songs give viewers a whole picture of the man. There are also interviews with John Williams, Michael Feinstein and others who discuss the legacy of the man and his music.

Who does not know the wonderful song “Moon River”? Mercer collaborated with Henry Mancini on that Academy-award winning classic. He also wrote the fabulous words for one of Hollywood’s trademark songs, “Hooray for Hollywood.” The lyrics, “Hooray for Hollywood. That screwy ballyhooey Hollywood,” satirizes the craziness of the film industry.
