It's pretentious, lugubrious, mawkish, and full of both naivete and macho bluster. It also has moments that are indelible and heartbreaking.

Reviews for Too Late Blues
The jumpy, freewheeling Cassavetes style -- for which Darin's jazz, I suppose, is a metaphor -- seems well worth fighting for.
One of the more impressive Hollywood movies to be set in the hip, flip jazz world.
John Cassavetes' first Hollywood-made project shows a tendency to force casebook psychology on the characters at a loss of spontaneity.
Interesting mainly for its jazz atmosphere and Darin's nonsinging performance.
