I know it's not much but this was at the beginning of the movie 'Pete Kelly's Blues' starring Jack Webb.
That’s good enough for me. Didnt know he did anything other than Dragnet (which I will watch on MeTV between 5-6am if I’m moving that early)
Some years ago, Gordon Parks who grew up in Ft. Scott had a movie which I can't remember the name but had some Frisco in it.
