While vacationing in France, they each fall in love with two young American women, Lillian and Connie. Ram and Eddie must decide whether to move back to America with the women or remain in Paris for the creative freedom and more tolerant atmosphere it affords.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRam, who aspires to be a serious composer, finds Paris more exciting than America and is reluctant to give up his music for a relationship. Eddie is drawn to the city's more accepting social climate. A virtual love letter to both jazz and the city of Paris, Martin Ritt's film develops several themes simultaneously, riffing on Eddie's reluctance to face his roots and Ram's conflict between love and the artist's life. With a score by Duke Ellington and a breathtaking 'Battle Royal' sequence featuring Louis Armstrong, Paris Blues is a moving drama and a must-see for jazz lovers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKey Credits:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDirected by: Martin Ritt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced by: Sam Shaw; Executive Producers: George Glass and Walter Seltzer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePresented by: Pennebaker Productions and Diane Productions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScreenplay by: Jack Sher, Irene Kamp and Walter Bernstein; Adaptation by: Lulla Adler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on a novel by: Harold Flender\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMusic by: Duke Ellington\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCast: Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Sidney Poitier, Louis Armstrong, Diahann Carroll, Serge Reggiani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTechnical Details:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlack \u0026amp; White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRuntime: 98 minutes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAspect Ratio: Anamorphic (1.66:1)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSubtitles: English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot Rated\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor DVD Player (North American NTSC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Kino Lorber (KL Studio Classics)","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":51327435571478,"sku":"129291","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/202634134935550scan.jpg?v=1779213640","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/paris-blues","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
