John C. Reilly narrates in the person of a street singer.

Ms. Weiss called herself a “street singer.”

Barry was a street singer “discovered” by the folklorist Alan Lomax in the 1950s; she busked with a banjo and a beautiful bray of a voice, brazenly Irish, singing songs of the day alongside traditional ballads.

In the drama, a blind street singer in 1950s Chicago goes to a house on the South Side looking for a woman he once knew.

In the film, he plays a veteran comedy scribe battling dementia who is befriended by a street singer played by 41-year-old comedian Tiffany Haddish, the Post reported.
