The only dramatic theatrical feature film other than this movie where jazz music legend Miles Davis composed the music score had been about thirty-three years earlier for Louis Malle's French film 'Elevator to the Gallows' ('Ascenseur pour l'échafaud') (1958). In the earlier picture, Miles Davis apparently recorded the music with a quartet of French and US musicians in just a few hours, from 11pm to 5am one night, improvising each number, and allegedly sipping champagne with actress Jeanne Moreau and director Louis Malle. Part of 'Dingo' (1991) is filmed in Paris, France. The score for 'Dingo' (1991) was composed by both Davis and Michel Legrand.
The Australian DVD sleeve notes state that the "late great Miles Davis made his only acting appearance in this film". However, Miles appeared in acting roles in a couple of television productions and played a street musician in 'Scrooged' (1988). As such, 'Dingo' (1991) would be the only ever major acting role in a theatrical feature film of Miles Davis.
The film's soundtrack was one of the last of musician-composer Miles Davis prior to his passing away.
The film is director Rolf de Heer's "cinematic ode to the power of music" according to the film's DVD sleeve notes.
One of four theatrical feature film collaborations of editor Suresh Ayyar and writer-director Rolf de Heer. The movies are: 'Dingo' (1991), 'Bad Boy Bubby' (1993), 'Tale of a Tiger' (1984), and 'Incident at Raven's Gate' (1988).
