Bojangles (film)

Bojangles is a 2001 American made-for-television biographical drama film that chronicles the life of entertainer Bill "Bojangles" Robinson (1878–1949).

[1] Robinson is played by Gregory Hines, who also served as an executive producer.

Bojangles was produced by Darrick Productions and MGM Television for the Showtime premium cable network.

Starting with Robinson's funeral, including what looks like archival footage of the event, the film then plays out the biography in a straightforward manner as a flashback, both in color and black-and-white.
