“One of the more impressive Hollywood movies to be set in the hip, flip jazz world. Geoff Andrew, Time Out
After the success of Cassavetes’s groundbreaking first feature Shadows, Paramount hired the Greek American director to make his debut studio picture. Too Late Blues is a parable of the tensions between art and commerce, described by Dennis Lim as “something like a confessional manifesto from the emerging director” (Los Angeles Times). Crooner Bobby Darin, in his first top-billed dramatic role, is jazz musician “Ghost” Wakefield, who leads a struggling band. He navigates relationship conflicts with his band members, new singer Jess (Stella Stevens), and agent Benny (Everett Chambers)." - The Cinémathèque, Vancouver
