4 out of 5 stars Worth watching!   November 15, 2008
film-maniac (Berlin, Germany)
This little film tries successfully to look like a big production. It surely has lots of weak moments but they don't count because it has so many unforgettable ones: Take it's soundtrack, the finale, Peggy Lee's performance, the scenes in the dance hall and the use of CinemaScope in some shots - and you have a first rate, terribly underrated film.
Watched it once on a big screen. That is unforgettable. Watching it on DVD reminds me how great it was watching it in the cinema.



5 out of 5 stars very good   September 7, 2008
Richard E. Watson (lynn,ma. USA)
although a B movie peggy lee and ella are WOW and the music great plus the little bit of a young jayne mansfield really brings this flic up several notches, it was great to see it again after all these years


5 out of 5 stars A 50s favorite!   August 23, 2008
John M. Story
Saw it new as a child, loved it for some strange reason - music, acting, Peggy Lee, Ella, Andy Devine, Lee Marvin, Jack Webb's crewcut? I dunno, but I've seen it a dozen times in my life and still treasure it as one of my all-time 50s favorites!


4 out of 5 stars Webb's Pete based on another Pete?   August 18, 2008
P. LINDUP (Blackpool England)
Apparently, when Jack Webb was creating PETE KELLY he would regularly watch Hollywood-based cornetist PETE DAILY and his band to assimilate the mannerisms and attitudes of a similar musician. Recordings by Matty Matlock's band were so popular that the group made concert appearances billed as PETE KELLY'S BIG SEVEN supported, ironically, by PETE DAILY'S DIXIELANDERS!Great to have PETE KELLY'S BLUES on DVD after all these years, in any format. Now what about re-releasing the PETE KELLY BIG SEVEN recordings? Not to mention those infectious PETE DAILY & HIS CHICAGOANS tracks.


5 out of 5 stars la carendi le me cantos!   July 31, 2008
William P. Ruspantine
of course jack webb is master of monotone one liners, yes janet leigh carries him,yes he's not much of an actor, but story and nostagia make this par excellance. with webb's impeccable timing and imagination for those one liners makes the movie move on. o yea, give ella bout a dozen kisses!
