English Summary:

Stormy Monday is the 1988 feature film debut of director Mike Figgis. Starring Sean Bean, Tommy Lee Jones, Sting and Melanie Griffith, and is an atmospheric, noirish thriller. The notable jazz soundtrack is also by Figgis. Being set in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, the film is something of an homage to Get Carter. The film's title refers to blues guitarist/singer T-Bone Walker's signature song "Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just As Bad)"

The film opens on a young man, Brendan (Sean Bean), looking for work. He circles an ad seeking a cleaner for heavy, night work at the Key Club owned by Finney (Sting). Before he can answer the ad, he meets an American woman, Kate (Melanie Griffith). Their paths later cross at a hotel where the Krakow Jazz Ensemble is busy checking in for their stay.

When Brendan meets Finney, the club owner is uninterested in Brendan until they discover a shared love of jazz. After getting the job, Brendan orders dinner at a restaurant when he is surprised to see that his waitress is Kate. She recommends the steak, and as he waits for his meal, he overhears two men talking about buying Finney out of his club. They make it clear that they are willing to kill Finney to get their way.

Hungarian Summary:

Brendan állás nélkül van, amikor meglátja egy bártulajdonos álláshirdetését. Kellemes feladatot kap: egy lengyel jazzegyüttest kell kalauzolnia. A bárt egy gátlástalan amerikai üzletember akarja felvásárolni a telek értéke miatt, de a tulajdonos nem akarja eladni. Brendan megismerkedik a vállalkozó szeretőjével, s a társaságában fültanúja lesz a főnöke elleni leszámolási terv megbeszélésének.
