[Dixielandjazz] Pete Kelly's Blues

[Cebuisle2 at aol.com]

Hello List-
 
Back around 1955 a grade B gangster movie was produced featuring Jack Webb  
from the "Dragnet" TV series. I believe it was titled "Pete Kelly's Blues" and  
included a hot Dixieland group called "Pete Kelly's Big 7." If memory serves 
me  right, Dick Cathart  (sp?) was the cornetist for the group.. They also 
made  a 45 with four tunes from the movie, recorded by Capitol Records. I still  
have that record-
 
Where can I find a video of the movie? I have searched all over for years,  
visited the major rental franchises with no success. It is listed in their  
catalogs, but when I order the flick it never arrives. I understand the movie  
has become something of a cult classic-but where can a "lost in the fifties" fan 
 find a copy? Have all available copies been brought or banned?
 
Sure could use some help here. Saw that movie a dozen times back then,  would 
like to see it again.
