Up in da 1955 club


Momma Don't Allow (1955)

Directed by Karel Reisz and Tony Richardson this is a short documentary. We see one night in the life of a London jazz club.

Somewhat interesting as a historical record but otherwise I did not find this an overly remarkable documentary. Very much just showing a slice of life without seeming to have a deeper point I thought this documentary was a little on the long side. There are some nice visuals but again nothing overly impressive.

3/5
