SYNOPSIS:Sal Mineo (Rebel Without a Cause) steals the screen with his acclaimed portrayal of one of the greatest jazz drummers of all time in this realistic bio-pic.
Defying the wishes of his parents, the young Krupa sets out for New York in search of fame and fortune with his musician buddy, Eddie (James Darren), and his small-town sweetheart, Ethel (Susan Kohner,Imitation of Life). After Krupa's incredible talents are discovered, his rocketing career leaves little time for Ethel.
Now playing in the fast lane, the hard-hitting drummer falls for a jazz singer, Dorissa (Susan Oliver), who introduces him to drugs. But after serving time in jail and losing true love Ethel, Krupa yearns for only one thing: a second chance at life and love.
Special appearances by Anita O’Day and Red Nichols, and a superb soundtrack with Krupa on drums, highlight this compelling story of a musical genius who transformed the sound of jazz percussion.
