#Amazon #Prime is streaming #ParisBlues (1961), a rarely seen movie, starring #PaulNewman, #JoanneWoodward, #SidneyPoitier & #DiahannCarroll. #LouisArmstrong also has a featured role.

The movie is about 2 American jazz musicians in Paris in the 50's & their unrequited love affairs with 2 American female tourists.

The movie has a #FilmNoir feel & was made in the same year as #TheHustler (1961) when Newman was in his prime.

One to watch if you haven't seen it before.

Celebrating with Philippe Halsmann's Jump series: The Women

“In a jump, the subject, in a sudden burst of energy, overcomes gravity. He cannot simultaneously control his expressions, his facial and his limb muscles. The mask falls. The real self becomes visible. One has only to snap it with the camera,”
