Young Man with a Horn
Young Man with a Horn
Aimless youth Rick Martin learns he has a gift for music and falls in love with the trumpet. Legendary trumpeter Art Hazzard takes Rick under his wing and teaches him all he knows about playing. To the exclusion of anything else in life, Rick becomes a star trumpeter, but his volatile personality and desire to play jazz rather than the restricted tunes of the bands he works for lands him in trouble.

The story of Rick Martin (Kirk Douglas) a man driven by his desire to play the music that's feeds his soul. Doris Day sings a couple of songs that are worth hearing, but her character seems added just for the songs. Lauren Bacall really excels as a women so envious of Martin's love of music, she tries to kill it. The ending is a little weak, but overall a good movie.
