Dig the hepcat vibes of this jazzy classic with Oscar-nominated music by Duke Ellington and a phenomenal cast including Paul Newman, Sidney Poitier, Diahann Carroll, and even Satchmo himself. Newman and Poitier star as ex-patriot jazz musicians in 1960s Paris. When a couple of American tourists catch their eye, they must consider leaving France to pursue romance – an understandably concerning thought for a Black man in the early 1960s. Clever dialogue, vital issues, Parisian landscapes, and an incredible soundtrack will make you fall in love with this Martin Ritt classic all over again!
