'Harry Belefonte', Ethel Waters and Diahann Carroll were all famous singers, but none of them sing in this drama, which is now available on DVD as part of "Golden Age Theater" Vol. 7.
The background music for "Winner by Decision" was provided from records by the Modern Jazz Quartet. The group's leader, pianist John Lewis, was a friend of Harry Belafonte and four years later wrote the music for Belafonte's film "Odds Against Tomorrow."
