4. Paris Blues, w. Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Louis Armstrong. Duke Ellington score.

A real piece of work. Ex-pat jazz musicians in Paris and two women they meet.

7. To Sir With Love

Lilies of The Field & Guess Who's Coming to Dinner are other favorites.

8. My favorite is Blackboard Jungle.

I won't say it was his best film, but it was my favorite. Glenn Ford was terrific.

I also liked "The Bedford Incident". Not a great film, by any means, but I liked it, and richard Widmark was terrific as Sidney's co-star.
