A reworking of Shakespeare's Othello, set amongst London's Easy End jazz clubs of the sixties, All Night Long tells the story of Johnny Cousin (Patrick McGoohan), a manipulative and treacherous drummer with his eye on drawing a jazz diva out of retirement for his own ends. Jealousy, passion and brooding menace all feature heavily in this moody classic which co-stars an impressive ensemble cast including Keith Michell, Betsy Blair and Richard Attenborough, as well as showcasing premiere jazz musicians of the fifties and sixties, including Johnny Scott, John Dankworth, Tubby Hayes and the legendary Charles Mingus
