Urlatori Alla Sbarra (1960)

The title loosely translates to "Rock 'n Rollers on Trial". A low-budget Italian teen-flick that also featured Elke Sommer. I don't understand Italian, so I can't really explain the plot. But it features lots of young, good-looking young folks who play rock and roll all day, dance, make out, harass old people, and ride scooters. Sounds like a lot of fun, but I don't really understand what this has to do with jazz or Chet Baker. We can assume that he did this gig to make a few quick bucks.

In the film, Chet is never called by name, he's just the "Americano". He's the source of a running gag through the film, where while everyone else is partying, he's just trying to get some sleep. He sleeps in a tub, under a couch, in an elevator, in girl's lap, under a tree, and so forth.

About halfway through the movie, we finally get to hear Chet play. He sits under a tree and serenades a young girl. The song is Arrivederci,  a pretty little tune arranged by Piero Umiliani. The sound is similar to the tunes he recorded in 1962 with Ennio Morricone. After that, "Americano" virtually disappears from the film.
