Young Man With a Horn [Blu-ray] [Blu-ray]

YOUNG MAN WITH A HORN - With a secondhand trumpet and the loving guidance of a brilliant bluesman, a lonely boy grows into manhood as a superb musician whose talent carries him from honky-tonks to posh supper clubs. But his desperate search for an elusive high note trapped in his mind but impossible to play starts him on a boozy downward slide. Charged with dynamic performances by Kirk Douglas (the title role), Doris Day, Lauren Bacall and Hoagy Carmichael, and pitch-perfect direction by Michael Curtiz (Casablanca), the film is a feast of hot, cool, moody jazz. Legendary Harry James dubbed Douglas hornwork. Day brings another fine instrument her voice to four standards. Movie and music lovers will be glad to meet this Man. Run time : 1 hour and 52 minutes
