Cleavon Little, in one of his last roles, is effective as the black community's reverend. Darren McGavin ( A Christmas Story, Billy Madison) plays the headmaster of the school whose warmth thinly veils the prejudices you just know will come through at some point.
FILM PERFECT HARMONY MOVIE
The cast is generally strong, and above TV movie standards of quality. Landy has a talent for playing harmonica and Taylor and he introduce each other to the musical culture with which they are familiar. Taylor befriends the recently-orphaned Landy Allen (Eugene Byrd), a black boy, who has been working at the school. His explorations turn up a different style of music and a different way of life, in the nearby colored community of Riverton. Taylor is generally good at heart and possesses an interest in exploring the world outside Blanton.
Justin Whalin plays Taylor Bradshaw, one of the school's best singers and one of the film's most significant protagonists. Devin Ratray, best known as obnoxious older brother Buzz McAllister in Home Alone plays Faustino's dim-witted crony Shelby. "Married.with Children"'s David Faustino plays the school's punk and racist Paul. The schoolchildren take their choir seriously, but they also pass the time as many boys do, with mischief and rivalries. He is actually convincing enough for you to not immediately associate him with either his "Bosom" or "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" TV personas! Scolari heads a cast filled with familiar faces. Peter Scolari, whose career never quite took off the way his "Bosom Buddies" co-star Tom Hanks did, does a solid job as the school's new choirmaster. Perfect Harmony is set in the 1950s at Blanton Academy, a prestigious private institute in the deep South.īlanton is renowned for its music program, and there is major responsibility passed onto Derek Sanders, the school's new choirmaster.
