4i Dan Seymour expresses his contempt for Kirk Douglas in "Young Man With A Horn." Kirk defies his friend, piano player Hoagy Carmichael, who begs him to stop drinking. KIRK DOUGLAS falls in love suddenly and irrevocably in "Young Man With A Horn." when, as a boy, he first hears the sweet wail of the trumpiit. From then on, nothing is so important in his life as his horn. He joins that fraternity of musicians to whom jazz is food and drink and, in the music he makes, forgets his poverty and loneliness. At the peak of his career, Kirk falls in love with a magnetic but unstable girl. The torture of trying to live her kind of life and remain true to his own starts him drinking and he becomes a real alcoholic when their marriage fails. His betrayal is complete when he turns to his beloved horn and finds he is no longer able to play. Doris Day, vocalist in a band Kirk's with, understands him and his love for his horn.
