Jazz enthusiast Rodney Hamilton (Richard Attenborough) stages a party for successful pianist Aurelius Rex (Paul Harris) and former singing star Delia (Marti Stevens), his wife, who gave up her singing career when they married. Trouble comes in the shape of Johnny Cousin (Patrick McGoohan), Rex's drummer who wants desperately to start his own band, featuring Delia. Johnny will do anything to make it happen, including spreading unsettling rumours about Delia to split her from Rex. Will Rex fall for johnny's treachery? The film, based on Othello, features an all star cast of some of the best Jazz musicians of the period - including Dave Brubeck and Charlie Mingus. Shot in black and white, with sharp suits, and cool jazz.
