Paris Blues

synopsis


Ram Bowen (Paul Newman) and Eddie Cook (Sidney Poitier) are two expatriate jazz musicians living in Paris where, unlike America at the time, Jazz musicians are celebrated and racism is a non-issue. When they meet and fall in love with two young American girls, Lillian (Joanne Woodward) and Connie (Dihann Carroll), who are vacationing in France, Ram and Eddie must decide whether they should move back to America with them, or stay in Paris for the freedom it allows them. Ram, who wants to be a serious composer, finds Paris more exciting than America and is reluctant to give up his music for a relationship, and Eddie wants to stay for the city’s more tolerant racial atmosphere.

Three screen legends, Paul Newman, Sidney Poitier and Joanne Woodward team up with jazz legends Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington in this 1961 drama. Beautifully shot in black and white it shows Paris as it was always portrayed in movies of the era; a magical city of picturesque boulevards, beautiful people and romantic adventures.

A brilliant script, superstar cast and brilliant jazz soundtrack cool, romantic and beautifully shot.
