Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill

20167.5 / 1090 min
Music, Drama, TV Movie

Overview

It's 1959 in a seedy bar in Philadelphia, and Billie Holiday is giving one of her last performances interlaced with salty, often humorous, reminiscences to project a riveting portrait of the lady and her music 4 months before her death.
