All Night Long
1962, The Rank Organisation [Park Circus]. 91 min. Dir. Basil Dearden
An Othello adaptation set in London’s early 1960s jazz scene. Drummer Johnny (Patrick McGoohan) wants singer Delia (Marti Stevens) to front his band, but when she refuses, the sociopathic social climber turns her anniversary party into a deadly game of he said, she said. With jazz greats Dave Brubeck and Charles Mingus in their prime!

A Man Called Adam
1966, Embassy Pictures [Rialto Pictures]. 99 min. Dir. Leo Penn
Sammy Davis, Jr. like you’ve never seen him before! Davis’ portrayal of Adam, the tortured cornetist alternating between self-sabotage and rotten luck, remains as startling today as when it was released. Leo Penn keeps his directorial choices for this unrelentingly bleak noir simple yet powerful. The film showcases George Rhodes and Louis Armstrong as they tear up real NYC nightclubs!
