With a secondhand trumpet and the loving guidance of a brilliant bluesman, a lonely boy grows into manhood as a superb musician whose talent carries him from honky-tonks to posh supper clubs. But his desperate search for an elusive high note – trapped in his mind but impossible to play – starts him on a boozy downward slide. Charged with dynamic performances by Kirk Douglas (the title role), Doris Day, Lauren Bacall and Hoagy Carmichael, and pitch-perfect direction by Michael Curtiz (Casablanca), the film is a feast of hot, cool, moody jazz. Legendary Harry James dubbed Douglas' hornwork. Day brings another fine instrument – her voice – to four standards. Movie and music lovers will be glad to meet this Man.

This sounds interesting!

Outstanding! An excellent movie inspired by the legendary trumpet player Bix Beiderbecke. The first act is especially good. Interesting that Lauren Bacall plays a lesbian character, though, of course, it's never mentioned directly. The DVD already looks great so this new master should be gorgeous!

Excited to hear this one is coming to blu-ray. Pretty weak ending, but I enjoy this film.
