I’ve loved this movie since it’s release. Peggy Lee is the greatest lady pop/jazz singer of the mid 20th Century, and she gets into the 1920’s mode as if it were a svelte gown. Her renditions are immaculate, as we always demand them to be, but less expected is her portrayal of the exploited artist in the speakeasies. She chews up the scenery, and stands tastefully true in between Jack Webb’s unemotiveness and Edmund O’Brien’s ham. An challenging inequity movie of about the same year which allows O’Brien to roast his ham with color is “The Girl Can’t Attend It”, a rock and roll movie starring Jane Mansfield, and featuring the entertainers of the hour, Small Richard, Fats Domino, Gene Vincent, et alia. The cast of “Pete Kelly’s Blues” also includes young Lee Marvin and Martin Milner as sidemen in Pete Kelly’s band. The best song in the flick is the cameo by Ella Fitzgerald, of whom we would wish to recognize and hear more, if only her share was bigger in the script. A nice evocation and snapshot, if symbolic, of the world of Bix and Bing, Ruth Etting and Moe the Gimp.
Jack Webb loved jazz and the jazz age. That comes through loud and determined in Pete Kelly’s Blues. I liked this movie immensely because it’s a labor of savor. Despite it’s flaws (Jack Webb tends to be stiff at times) the movie works and works well. Meticulous attention to detail, Peggy Lee in a dramatic role as well as her magnificent singing, Andy Devine as a cop along with the ample Ella Fitzgerald and some of the best jazz music ever recorded plus a strong supporting cast, create this movie well worth savoring again and again.
