All Night Long (1962)

To celebrate their first wedding anniversary, wealthy music promoter Richard Attenborough hosts a party in the honor of musical couple Paul Harris and Marti Stevens. One of the guests is drummer Patrick McGoohan who wants to draw Stevens out of retirement and join his nascent band. It’s a clever take on Shakespeare’s Othello set across a jazzy 1960s London backdrop. The music is divine, even featuring actual jazz musicians from the time period. Altering Shakespeare’s narrative somewhat makes it more accessible and more resonant for a modern audience.
