Too Late Blues (1961)

The Bold Story Of A Man Caught Between Two Strange Loves!

Ghost is an ideological musician and leader of a jazz band who would rather play his blues in the park to the birds than compromise himself. His peripatetic performances lead him to cross paths with a singer, while his masculinity is thrown into question following a violent brawl.
