Kansas City
1996, 116 minutes, Rated M
It's Kansas City, 1934, on the eve of a violent election. Blondie O'Hara (Jennifer Jason Leigh), a young telegraph operator, concocts a desperate plan to kidnap Carolyn Stilton (Miranda Richardson), the socialite wife of an advisor to President Franklin Roosevelt. Her goal is to exchange Mrs. Stilton for her petty thief of a husband (Dermot Mulroney), who has been caught by legendary gangster Seldom Seen (Harry Belafonte) after a botched heist.
Master filmmaker Robert Altman spins a glorious tale of dirty politics, gangsters and dames set against the backdrop of his hell-raising, crime-ridden Missouri hometown during the Depression... brimming with vibrant, vital music.
