Webb stars as the title character, who comes across as essentially a variation on his personae as &#8220;facts only&#8221; Detective Joe Friday and hard-hitting Sergeant Moore in <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=36572\"><em>The D.I.<\/em> (1957)<\/a>.  As DVD Savant writes in his review: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Webb locked himself into his perfectly deadly &#8216;Dragnet&#8217; style. He often moves like a robot. Instead of acting he hits marks, turns his head and flashes the occasional predetermined smile.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The movie&#8217;s redeeming moments are fine period sets, luminous Technicolor cinematography, and the presence of real-life musical stars Ella Fitzgerald and Peggy Lee, who are given wonderfully uninterrupted, respectful moments to shine. Otherwise, the storyline&#8217;s awkward pacing, rat-a-tat dialogue (&#8220;They say you&#8217;ve got rubber pockets so you can steal soup.&#8221;), and underdeveloped characterizations reflect blunt radio serial norms rather than effective screenwriting.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ella Fitzgerald singing &#8220;Hard Hearted Hannah&#8221;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Pete-Kellys-Blues-Fitzgerald.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Pete-Kellys-Blues-Fitzgerald.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"213\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Pete-Kellys-Blues-Fitzgerald.jpg 360w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Pete-Kellys-Blues-Fitzgerald-128x76.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Pete-Kellys-Blues-Fitzgerald-300x178.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Peggy Lee&#8217;s tunes<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Pete-Kellys-Blues-Lee.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Pete-Kellys-Blues-Lee.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"198\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36778\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Pete-Kellys-Blues-Lee.jpg 360w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Pete-Kellys-Blues-Lee-128x70.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Pete-Kellys-Blues-Lee-300x165.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Some creative direction and vibrant Technicolor\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo, unless you&#8217;re a diehard jazz fan. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0048484\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dvdtalk.com\/dvdsavant\/s2671pete.html\">DVD Savant Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1955\/08\/19\/archives\/webb-plays-the-blues.html\">NY Times Original Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nysun.com\/arts\/warner-bros-celebrates-hollywoods-jazz-age\/82767\/\">NY Sun Article (scroll down)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dvdtalk.com\/reviews\/66381\/pete-kellys-blues\/\">DVD Talk Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.timeout.com\/us\/film\/pete-kellys-blues\">Time Out Capsule Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;You couldn&#8217;t give me a cold.&#8221; Synopsis: A Prohibition-era jazz band leader (Jack Webb) is pressured into being &#8220;managed&#8221; by a local gangster (Edmond O&#8217;Brien) after his uncooperative drummer (Martin Milner) is gunned down, prompting his longtime bandmate (Lee Marvin) to hit the road.
