Paris Blues Ratings & Reviews
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
Whether or not one is interested in jazz music and beyond the acting performances, Paris Blues is worth checking out for Duke Ellington's Oscar-nominated score.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Paris Blues feels strikingly original in its ambience, relationships, and dialogue.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
Four writers have adapted Harold Flender's novel, whose sole asset was the idea they have minimized ...
Artforum
Melissa Anderson
Despite how square this movie about hepcats seems -- if only from the admittedly unfair vantage point of more than five decades on -- expressions of raw emotion stir Paris Blues to life.

Cole Smithey
Louis Armstrong lends his legendary horn to great effect in a musical sequence in this classic gem of a movie.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
A 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.
Oregonian
Shawn Levy
Newman 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.
TIME Magazine
All it lacks is something to pull these parts into a sensible whole.
Apollo Guide

Roman Holiday for beatnik hipsters
TV Guide
The story is slim but the jazz is great.
Variety
Variety Staff
Within its snappy, flashy veneer is an undernourished romantic drama of a rather traditional screen school.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The jazz is hot, the romance is not so hot.
