Mickey One

Warren Beatty, a comic from Detroit who fled gambling debts, now using the name slapped on him by a Chicago day-labor boss, is sort-of back on his feet, entering a club where he makes friends with fellow stand-up Benny Dunn, in director-producer Arthur Penn's Mickey One, 1965.

Sax solo by Stan Getz over original score by Eddie Sauter for the opening sequence, with Warren Beatty as a Detroit comedian partying with Donna Michelle, a Playboy Playmate Of The Year, with producer-director Arthur Penn citing direct French New Wave influences, in Mickey One, 1965.

Warren Beatty and director Arthur Penn, later to make Bonnie And Clyde (1967), first worked together on the experimental film Mickey One (1965).
