Average Rating: 
Rating: - Worth watching!
This little film tries successfully to look like a big production. It surely has lots of weak moments but they don't count because it has so many unforgettable ones: Take it's soundtrack, the finale, Peggy Lee's performance, the scenes in the dance hall and the use of CinemaScope in some shots - and you have a first rate, terribly underrated film.
Watched it once on a big screen. That is unforgettable. Watching it on DVD reminds me how great it was watching it in the cinema.
Rating:  - very good
although a B movie peggy lee and ella are WOW and the music great plus the little bit of a young jayne mansfield really brings this flic up several notches, it was great to see it again after all these years
Rating: - A 50s favorite!
Saw it new as a child, loved it for some strange reason - music, acting, Peggy Lee, Ella, Andy Devine, Lee Marvin, Jack Webb's crewcut? I dunno, but I've seen it a dozen times in my life and still treasure it as one of my all-time 50s favorites!
Rating: - Webb's Pete based on another Pete?
Apparently, when Jack Webb was creating PETE KELLY he would regularly watch Hollywood-based cornetist PETE DAILY and his band to assimilate the mannerisms and attitudes of a similar musician. Recordings by Matty Matlock's band were so popular that the group made concert appearances billed as PETE KELLY'S BIG SEVEN supported, ironically, by PETE DAILY'S DIXIELANDERS!Great to have PETE KELLY'S BLUES on DVD after all these years, in any format. Now what about re-releasing the PETE KELLY BIG SEVEN recordings? ... Read More
Rating: - la carendi le me cantos!
of course jack webb is master of monotone one liners, yes janet leigh carries him,yes he's not much of an actor, but story and nostagia make this par excellance. with webb's impeccable timing and imagination for those one liners makes the movie move on. o yea, give ella bout a dozen kisses!
