Movie Reviews

CineVue - 8/10 by Adam LowesMuch like the multitude of heady jazz numbers that flow throughout the film, Paris Blues is a cool, breezy and laid-back character-led romantic drama with strong turns by the four likable leads, not least the late, great Paul Newman, effortlessly exuding that trademark piercing blue-eyed intensity and magnetism.
The Spectator - 8/10 by Isabel QuiglyParis Blues has something of his old intelligence and liking for authenticity.
Radio Times - 8/10 by Angie ErrigoAgeing like a fine wine - even with its vintage "Ya dig, baby?" lingo - this offbeat affair from one of Newman's drama teachers and favourite directors, Martin Ritt, is also one of the most delightful jazz movies ever made.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyA low key, plotless but charming film that benefits from its appealing cast, Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Sidney Poitier and Diahann Carroll, on location shooting in Paris, and Oscar-nominated jazz music from Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington.
The New York Times - 7/10 by J. HobermanParis Blues is a small movie with large ambitions.
Oregonian - 7/10 by Shawn LevyNewman is terrific in the picture, running both hot and cool, but he's upstaged by Woodward, who delivers stunning and surprising emotion in the final scenes. It's really worth seeing.
The New Republic - 6/10 by Stanley KauffmannFour writers have adapted Harold Flender's novel, whose sole asset was the idea they have minimized ...
Variety - 6/10 by Variety StaffWithin its snappy, flashy veneer is an undernourished romantic drama of a rather traditional screen school.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 6/10 by John DoyleWithin its snappy, flashy veneer is an undernourished romantic drama of a rather traditional screen school.
User Review - 8/10 by who aThe script does not allow for the characters to develop too much on screen, but their background stories suggested are interesting enough, if you make an effort to connect and project onto the script. Sydney Poitier's character is a jazz musician stifled by the US, looking for a way out in Paris. Paul Newman's character, the drifter. Joanne Woodward's story, although only sketched, also triggers some curiosity. The intentions of the movie are more commendable than the story at times: a critique of racial inequality and an ironical pass at the eternal traveller. Produced by the short-lived Pennebaker Productions, Marlon Brando's production company.
