Five Pennies, The

 

USA 1959, 113 minutes
Dir. Melville Shavelson
Genres: Classics / Musical, Jazz & Blues

 

Aroview: Cheery Red Nichols biopic with Danny Kaye turning in a heartfelt performance as the famed jazz trumpter.

Contains many soapy moments between Kaye and his physically impaired daughter (Tuesday Weld, in her film debut), though musically also boasts an array of memorable interludes, particularly those with Louis Armstrong.
