Pete Kelly's Blues
“A jazz-man of the wide-open '20s - caught in the crossfire of its blazing .38s!”
CrimeDramaMusic
In 1927, a Kansas City, Missouri cornet player and his band perform nightly at a seedy speakeasy until a racketeer tries to extort them in exchange for protection.
VIBE
This film feels like a smoky, dimly lit speakeasy. It's a melancholic dive into the jazz age, where the music is as vital as the danger lurking beneath the surface. A stylish, atmospheric character study.
