Dancing on the Edge

London, 1933. Panic-stricken jazz band leader Louis Lester asks his friend, music journalist Stanley Mitchell, to help him flee the country.

Louis is disappointed at the band’s lack of progress, then Mr. Donaldson arranges for them to play at a funeral organized by reclusive Lady Cremone, a dedicated jazz fan and former globe-trotter.

Interviewed by the police about the attack on Jessie, Lois tells them that he saw him fleeing the scene, but Pamela’s account differs.

Using Sarah’s private photographs, Stanley compiles a special edition of “Music Express” glorifying Jessie’s career and Masterson arranges a lavish wake where Louis is puzzled by Julian’s passionate speech.

At the peak of their fame, Louis, Jessie and Carla provide interviews for Music Express magazine that provide insight into their thoughts about fame.
