Wiki.
Stormy Monday is a 1988 neo-noir thriller film written and directed by Mike Figgis in his feature film directorial debut, and starring Melanie Griffith, Sean Bean, Tommy Lee Jones, and Sting. The film follows an Irishman living in Newcastle upon Tyne, where he becomes embroiled in an American businessman's plot to acquire a prominent jazz club. Writer-director Figgis also composed the film's jazz score.
A co-production between the United Kingdom and the United States, Stormy Monday was filmed in Newcastle upon Tyne in the summer of 1987. The film's title refers to blues guitarist and singer T-Bone Walker's signature song "Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just As Bad)"
