The legendary director Michael Curtiz presents a glimpse into the world of jazz and a story loosely based on the life of immortal jazz trumpeter Bix Beiderbecke. Kirk Douglas is a guilt-ridden trumpeter that has trouble hitting that elusive "high note". Doris Day, Lauren Bacall and Jerome Cowan also star; but the movie belongs to Douglas. Wonderful music like: "I Only Have Eyes For You", "Limehouse Blues" and "The Very Thought of You". It is odd watching Douglas handle the trumpet. Its only a movie; but well worth watching again and again.
