- 2. Look Back in Anger (1959) had jazz in the background, but it was by Chris Barber, and the music was largely unrelated to the movie. The protest and rebellion in the trumpet may have been a metaphor for the anger that the Richard Burton character felt, but it was not convincingly intertwined with the drama itself. Curiously enough, Barber also features in the youth club in We Are the Lambeth Boys.

Jazzorg Note: If you are interested in a retrospective of a grim, post-war, 1950s London, the film 'We Are The Lambeth Boys' can be viewed as a video stream at
[this link] . The film is also available on the British Film Institute DVD 'Free Cinema' - that's 'free', as in 'artistic freedom' not as in 'freebie'. The DVD also contains the film 'Momma Don't Allow' - a series of 1950s Saturday Evenings at the Wood Green Jazz Club (London), listening to the Chris Barber Band. |
