Tony S @RT22145614 May 2 This movie revolves around two American jazz musicians in Paris and two American tourists. For Ram Bowen played by Paul Newman, there is a tension between his love for music and the love he develops for Lillian, one of the tourists who is played by Joanne Woodward. For Eddie Cook, his exile in France is challenged by his love for Connie played by Diahann Carroll. Connie is strongly tied to home in America, by Eddie remembers the hostilities born of racism and doesn't want to return to that. For Ram and Eddie, the question is will they stay or will they go? If you enjoy jazz music, you'll enjoy the music that accompanies the story. By the way, some of the jazz comes from the horn of Louis Armstrong who is in Paris to headline some shows.

It’s enjoyable to spend time in that vision of 1960s Paris. A modest film, but a satisfying one. See more Troy C @RT04833909 Jan 20 Disclaimer: This review is deeply biased. I love this movie, can't believe I haven't even heard of it before. I love it because Paul Newman is so good and so gorgeous. See more Leah R @RT70443524 02/20/2025 I love Paris. I love jazz and blues, and I LOVE PAUL NEWMAN. Great to see these 4 amazing actors when they were young... not much of a story, but a must see nonetheless.

I mean if you want to watch a really blatant thriller then there are plenty crap high plot films on netlfix now, but this is subtly full of meaning and existential dread, creativity, bigotry, love, desire, music. Oh the music. Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, it's absolutely brilliant, and the cast is brilliant including one of the few films with Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward together, the love of a lifetime. The ending isn't Hollywood perfect room though, it's real and it's deeply touching. Watch it. See more Steve D @RT35616104 07/17/2023 the music parts just aren't interesting.
