    You have us stumped! It looks like a movie that took place in the 50’s! Probably controversial for the time. Perhaps a college theme? Did this take place in LA?

    He appears to be Bobby Darin. Her name is right on the tip of my mind’s tongue, but it refuses to take the leap.

    It looks to be a pub …with a rather specific clientele …and although there’s not a familiar face in the carload I’ll suggest The Killing of Sister George, 1968 ..as the fashions suggest. BTW Victum is an excellent film. Dirk Bogard at his best.

    Paris blues, (1961) probably lots of correct answers today. I will guess the “chanteuse” is Barbara Laage

    Well, for Thursday we have Diahann Carroll and Joanne Woodward in a Paris dive (not London pub as I initially thought…the easy mix of blacks and whites strongly indicates that this is Europe, not mid century NYC…) so I suppose this is Paris Blues. (Paul and Sidney are not yet seen.) The car load of extras are still nameless …If there’s a shot of the piano player that would be Aaron Bridgers who was Billy Strayhorn’s longtime lover. In fact The Duke released an album of this score…etc.

    The movie is Paris Blues – I spotted Joanne Woodward, Diahann Carroll, Louis Armstrong, Paul Newman. The others I don’t recognize – Are they possibly French actors?

    Not only had I not seen ‘Paris Blues’, but I wasn’t even aware of it. Shame on me. Especially shameful because it is the kind of film I would have been drawn to then and now. Thanks for awakening me. My next job is to rent and see it.
