LIVE AT MR. KELLY'S
The iconic Mister Kelly's, once called a "supernova in the local and national nightlife firmament," illuminated legendary Chicago's Rush Street and the entire country by launching talents like Barbra Streisand, Richard Pryor, Bob Newhart, Bette Midler, and Steve Martin. Its visionary owners, George and Oscar Marienthal, smashed color and gender barriers to put unknown, controversial voices on stage--and transform entertainment as America knew it in the '50s, '60s, and '70s. Now, with the club long gone and its star talent reaching its golden years, George's son David and director/screenwriter Theodore Bogosian go on a quest to collect the memories of the clubs before they are lost. Celebrity interviews include Bob Newhart, the Smothers Brothers, Dick Gregory, Lainie Kazan, Herbie Hancock, Dick Cavett, Tim Reid, Fred Willard, and Ramsey Lewis. Through interviews, live footage, photos, music, and song, the film portrays the most beloved and famous talent of our time at the decisive moments when they showed up, dug deep, and broke in.
