Let the show’s 5th year begin!

LTS regular Micki Maynard turned me onto this one. Paul Newman and Sidney Pottier star as jazz musicians in Paris. Their love interests are Joanne Woodward and Dihann Caroll, repectively. Louis Armstrong plays a character called Wild Man Moore. If my synopsis seems superficial, that’s because I haven’t actually seen this one. But I love the cast, and I love the idea that Sidney and Diahann are doing something more interesting than playing that one Black person in the movie. So come discover this one along with me.
