I saw Pete Kelley's Blues in the movies in 1955 as a 16 year old kid. I enjoyed the music so much I bought a 33 LP with the music which I still possess. I recorded the movie on VHS tape off TV several years ago and before the tape faded too much I put it on DVD for my use. The title doesn't seem to be readily available these days. Not sure why. The music and artists are first rate in my aging opinion. Jack Webb is somewhat less of a wise guy than he usually seemed to me on TV. There may be one scene I recall in the movie which did not appear in the TV version I recorded---the view of some guy shot in the face with a shotgun---that is my memory from 1955 or so. Bloody etc. I think it was in the theater version--maybe I'm mixing up movies in my memory. Does anybody remember the scene I recall?
