Synopsis

In Kansas City, during the Depression, a young man robs a gambler and is held hostage by a mysterious nightclub owner. In response, the man’s wife kidnaps a socialite whom she tries to trade for her husband.

MUBI's take

If Nashville was Altman’s ode to country music, then Kansas City is his great love ballad to Kansas City jazz. In loose swings and percussive blasts, this 1930s crime drama ripples with intrigue while boasting a stellar ensemble cast of acting and music legends, like the late, great Harry Belafonte.
