Pete Kelly's Blues (1955)

Poster for Pete Kelly's Blues

A jazz-man of the wide-open '20s - caught in the crossfire of its blazing .38s!

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.
