- one of the best young indy movies!
this is a very good indy story, and it even has a special appearance by harrison ford. the movie is the story he tells to an indian guy about when he learned to play the saxophone. a good story with a part about jazz where indy joins up with sydney bechet. the other part is for the action and mystery lovers, indy and his friends try to break up al capone's illegal booze ring.

Rating:

- Fairly good
I thoroughly enjoyed the first half--Indy perseveres through criticism by white and black alike. His triumph of mastering jazz on the soprano sax is heart-warming. The second half, however, was disappointing. While including a murder and more action than the first half, the ending is inconclusive and weak.

- Blues Traveller Makes One Too Many Historical Stops
The first hour of this film is in every way a full realization of the promise of the series. The historical situation is particularly plausible. Indiana Jones meets Sidney Bechet while working in a club to pay for his college expenses, befriends him, and gets to meet other jazz greats who were actually Bechet's friends.

- Young Indys adventures in Chicago
The more I see of this underrated series, the more I can appreciate and admire Lucas's original vision. While each episode is complete in itself, each part also adds to a larger mosaic, moreso now that the Old Indy bookends have gone. This movie is also notable for the return of Harrison Ford as an older Indy in a comical, if inconsequential, bookend. In this movie, Indy finally begins college after having been away in europe fighting in the war. Whilst working as a waiter to pay for his tuition Indy crosses paths with the likes of Sidney Bechet and even Al Capone. He also meets his old war buddy Ernie Hemingway whom he'd met in Italy (see Tales of Innocence). Its fair to say that there is little action in this episode (or the whole series for that matter) however the point, of this series, wasn't simply to see how much action Indiana could confront. If it's simply action that you want then this whole ... Read More
