The Poem of the Blue Star (1960)
Musical about the "Blue Star," a struggling jazz band led by pianist Takarada and trumpet player Takashima and their love interests. Done very much in the style of a Fox musical of the same 1940s, complete with an elaborate "History of Jazz" finale.
Director: Umetsugu Inoue
