10:42 That guy's a very good piano player, but Liberace is much better.
Rare, different level piece of piano playing – 9.45
The terrific piano player at 9:42 is Gene Rodgers. Played with many top jazz musicians, including King Oliver, Coleman Hawkins and Chick Webb. He wrote the two songs featured in this picture, "Ballad of the Bayou" and "Rajah's Blues".
Anyone notice the piano player. Wow! Now that was some ivory tapping! Certainly no act. Great movie BTW.
That was good !!!***
B movie.
some crazy blues piano at 10:00
ok
A modest low budget movie and a real film Noir.
Not a bad film!
Was an interesting movie with lots of twists & turns with one female playing the lead woman; enjoyed it.(ls)
Interesting story line and plot. With better actors this could have been a very good movie. The female lead in particular really wasn't up to the part.
Movie is twisted. The plots and plans double cross and twist and turn almost from scene to scene. It keeps one's interest very well. The noir is really noir making it hard to see some of the action at times. But one line I heard and liked occurred when one of the gangsters asked the newspaper reporter about his conversation with a different gangster. The reporter's suave reply, "First, he said something, then I'd say something."
This movie was a good one for the entire 1:03:39. Thank you, BEST CLASSICS!
