Too Late Blues

Ghost (Bobby Darin) is a struggling piano player and composer for a small jazz band. The band plays several under attended gigs before coming across an aspiring female singer, Jess (Stella Stevens). Ghost and Jess make beautiful music together on and off the stage until and act of cowardice drives Jess away. He blows a recording deal over his obsession of the girl. Ghost looks in all the old musical haunts before he finds Jess, who by now has become a tawdry tramp. This is the first Hollywood film directed by John Cassavetes. Screenplay is by Cassavetes and Richard Carr.
