Warner Archive has confirmed that it will release on Blu-ray director Jack Webb's film
Pete Kelly's Blues (1955), starring Jack Webb, Janet Leigh, Lee Marvin, Edmond O'Brien, Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald, and Jayne Mansfield. The release will arrive on the market later this year.
Official synopsis: Jack Webb stars as a Kansas City jazz cornetist, and when he takes on a vicious ganglord (Edmond O'Brien), the only thing faster than his famed deadpan delivery is the rapid-fire action. And the only thing more dynamic than film's Dixieland - and blues-infused musical sore is its stellar cast. Janet Leigh is a gin-swilling heiress who moves in on Kelly's heart. Lee Marvin and Martin Milner as Pete's hot-headed sidemen keep the tempo torrid. Andy Devine goes dramatic as an ice-cold cop. Ella Fitzgerald brings her inimitable jazz alchemy to "Hard Hearted Hannah" and "Pete Kelly's Blues". And Peggy Lee proves as masterful acting the blues as singing them, earning a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award nomination for her portrayal of a boozy songbird.
