Midnight Movie: Pete Kelly's Blues

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Starring Jack Webb, Janet Leigh, Edmond O'Brien, Peggy Lee
with Andy Devine, Lee Marvin, Ella Fitzgerald

Jack Webb of 'Dragnet' fame, is both star and director of this impeccable re-creation of the 20s, complete with bootlegging, speakeasies and jazz. Ella Fitzgerald sings the specially composed title song and Peggy Lee as an alcoholic night-club singer gives a moving performance of 'He needs me' and 'Sing a rainbow.'
