Bravo to Joanne Woodwood . She wasn't the prettiest , or the most glamorous or even a great actress but she snagged Paul Newman back in the fifties and they stayed married for life and I'm not being unkind to say she was punching well above her weight .
She went on to make many films with her husband but I don't think A New Kind Of Love is up there with the best of them.
The fashion industry and Paris provide the setting for a comedy surrounding the mistaken impression that Joanne Woodward is a high-priced call girl. Paul Newman is the journalist interviewing her for insights on her profession.
This isn't a very good film . It's great to see Paris in the early sixties and to see the attitude about sex that had considerably changed from the fifties but as a film it's pretty poor .
It's a comedy romance that isn't at all funny and doesn't feel very romantic. You get the impression this is just a vehicle for Newman and Woodward , it's just a shame the story is just wacky . It's at least thirty minutes too long. The premise of Sam Blake being someone else goes on too long and I just wanted it to be be over .
There is also a strange narration from Newman and Woodward which feels totally unnecessary. It's a shame this didn't work . A few years earlier Billy Wilder tried to get this made with Yul Brenner , that might have been more interesting.
