Paris Blues (Episode 202) - Hot Date with Dan and Vicky

The couples paired up in Martin Ritt's 1961 musical drama Paris Blues were more than just smart casting.  Real life married paramours Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward play Ram and Lillian, a jazz musician and the woman he falls in love with him.  And Sidney Poitier and Diahann Carroll, real life lovers at the time, play Eddie and Connie.  Carroll and Poitier had carried on an extramarital affair on their previous film Porgy and Bess and continued during the making of Paris Blues.  Both eventually stayed married and ended the affair after Paris Blues was completed.  Dan and Vicky discuss the jazz heavy film along with lots of recently seen including Moana 2, The Coffee Table, Twisters, Blink Twice, They/Them, Kyle Mooney's Y2K and NBC series St. Denis.  Our socials:  hotdatepod.com FB:  Hot Date Podcast Twitter: @HotDate726 Insta:  hotdatepod
