Why Do Fools Fall In Love (1998)

In the vibrant landscape of 1980s New York, three women from disparate walks of life converge at the office of notable entertainment mogul, Morris Levy. One, a former Platters singer hailing from Los Angeles, her voice as mellifluous as her past is complicated. The second, a nimble-fingered petty thief from Philadelphia, her life as complex as her crimes. The third, a high school teacher from a quaint Georgia town, her world as simple as her small-town upbringing. Each woman stakes her claim as the widow of the late Frankie Lymon, a prodigiously talented doo-wop singer-songwriter whose life succumbed to heroin's vice-grip. Their contention? Years of unclaimed royalties from Lymon's estate, wealth that has suspiciously never found its way out of Levy's coffers. As a contentious civil trial ensues, the narrative delves into the past, painting intimate portraits of each woman's entanglement with Lymon - the boyish virtuoso, whose high-pitched melodies echoed his tumultuous life. Gradually, amidst the storm of legal battles, the three widows find unexpected solidarity, weaving a singular bond in the shadow of their shared legacy. This is more than a tale of claims and conflicts; it is a voyage into the heart of love, loss, and the enduring melodies that bind us all.
