Intriguing movie !!!!


I never heard of this movie, but I am a fan of Richard Whorf. There's something fascinating about him, especially in this movie. I keep looking at him and realized he looks a lot like Eddie Cantor. I'm giving up Criminal Minds tonight to finish watching this. It's great !!!!!

I thought he looked a lot like Robert Taylor.

He and my father used to have lawn mower races.

Nothing is more beautiful than nothing.

I love this movie. As you say, it's intriguing. I love the camaraderie among the musicians, the weird place where they end up, how horrible Betty Field is, how scary Lloyd Nolan is, the music, the whole thing.

Like you, I find something fascinating about Richard Whorf.

i just watched blues in the night and agree with all of the previous posts. in addition to richard whorf resembling robert taylor, i thought betty field bore a striking resemblance to ann sheridan.

The whole movie was so over the top courtesy of Betty Field, I found it quite campy. I really think the editing was lacking, however. With Jigger going nuts on the piano like some insane boogie woogie playing that would lead to trouble?? Billy Halop was also over acting - but what a cast!! Elia Kazan on the phone to his ma! I just could not get my head around the wacky plot!
