Paris Blues (1961)
7/10
Lovely jazzy film full of elegance, style and fun - 7/10 ⭐

If you're a fan of either A) Jazz or B) Old Hollywood, this film is certainly one you should check off your list. Featuring great performances by both Paul Newman and Sidney Poitier (at such young ages too!), the story is a solid albeit not legendary one. I wouldn't say the whole is greater than the sum of its parts here (the individual subplots including romance and drug addiction don't come together quite as neatly as they should) but its a beautiful B&W film with a clear love for jazz and the era. Worth checking out for sure!
