AMG Sinopsis: The second film of director Martin Ritt with both Paul Newmanand Sidney Poitier, it's set in a city that has long been a haven for black musicians eager to escape the racism of the U.S. Newman is Ram Bowen, a trombone player who makes his living in a jazz group, which also includes tenor man Eddie Cook (Sidney Poitier), while studying music and aspiring to a career as a "serious" composer. Eddie stays in Paris to bask in the respect that its people feel for his music, a respect rarely accorded him in the States. A pair of tourists, Connie Lampson (Diahann Carroll) and Lillian Corning (Joanne Woodward) arrive in the city for a two-week vacation, and the two musicians lose no time in hooking up. Soon both relationships take a serious turn and the musicians are forced to make some important decisions about the possibility of returning to their native soil.
AMG Review: Without a doubt one of the lesser films produced by the long-term collaboration of Martin Ritt and Paul Newman, it nevertheless boasts a probing performance by Joanne Woodward and a wonderful score by Duke Ellington. The long-standing romance between Paris and African-American jazz musicians dates from the 1920s. The French accepted the music as an art long before it was recognized as such in the United States, and it continues to accord jazz players a stature still rare in their country of origin. Thus, many musicians chose to relocate there, creating a unique musical subculture. One imagines that it was this world, which had never been put on film, that Ritt hoped to explore, but the imperatives of Hollywood presumably required a white star in the lead. Instead of a film about jazz, he's created a tepid drama about a white musician's aspirations to be a composer, suffused with middlebrow notions about art. In the other corner, Poitier has the even more thankless role of mouthpiece for the script's anti-racist rhetoric, as though this is the only subject black musicians ever discuss. But amidst the dross, Joanne Woodward burns through the script's glibness as a normal woman hoping for a commitment from the conflicted Newman. The source music played by Louis Armstrong, Wild Man Moore, and Paul Gonsalves; Ellington's rousing score; and the backdrop of the City of Lights are also among the film's pleasures.
