"We need to keep an eye on the other human experiences to give ourselves the fullness and breadth of our own humanity. Our humanity is served back to us through the eyes of those who have diminished us. And they serve back to us a view of ourselves that is incomplete. If we don’t look to the bigger picture, our view will narrow to that which is constantly fed to us." — #SidneyPoitier #BlackHistory

#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.
