Not that Paris is a bucolic and utopian haven for foreigners but you have to give the city for really opening it's doors to great musicians, especially from the late 50s amd 60s.

I saw this movie in the 70's as a young teen. Sidney Poitier, Diahann Carroll, Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward...in their prime, stellar, two fantastic pairs symmetrical in their own way, great music. It's one of those movies that helped me understand certain things that no adult would explain. What a gift!

Just saw it on Net Family Flix, or something like that, ironic since it was probably risque for its time, with its frank, albeit only suggestive, depiction of sexual relationships among unmarried couples, its references to the racial tensions in America at the time, and its depiction of casual, equal relationships among blacks and whites. My guess is that it was not shown anywhere in the southern states on its release - was this an "art house" film or general distribution - anybody know?

Good question. I'm trying to find out more info on this. I do know that director, Martin Ritt, was part of the Hollywood blacklisted directors in the 50s, and then came the civil rights era so I think it was a response to his liberal involvement, etc. But if I find out more info, I will post. Thanks for commenting and asking questions :). Bennie
