"Kansas City" was a 1996 film directed by native Kansas Citian, Robert Altman. Many scenes were filmed just south of here in the 18th and Vine area. The movie starred Harry Belafonte, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Miranda Richardson, Dermot Mulroney, and Steve Buscemi. It was set in the 1930s and highlighted the music from the Kansas City jazz scene of that era.
