Jazz Boat Limited Edition Blu-Ray

Anthony Newley (Idle on Parade), Anne Aubrey (The Man Inside), and Lionel Jeffries (Orders to Kill) star in the musical crime caper Jazz Boat.

When Bert Harris (Newley) boasts of his prowess as a thief, he is reluctantly recruited by a beautiful woman (Aubrey) to take part in a jewel heist alongside a violent gang. On the run from both the gang and Detective Sergeant Thompson (Jeffries), Harris and his girlfriend hide out on a river cruise.

Directed by Ken Hughes (The Long Haul), co-written by John Antrobus (The Bed-Sitting Room), and photographed by Nicolas Roeg (Track 29), this entertaining blend of comedy, music, and crime from Warwick Films offers a snapshot of Britain's pre-Beatles youth culture, and features performances from the most popular big band of the era, Ted Heath and His Music.
