“Ageing like a fine wine, this offbeat affair from one of [Paul] Newman's drama teachers and favourite directors, Martin Ritt, is also one of the most delightful jazz movies ever made.”—Angie Errigo, Radio Times

During the 1960s, two American jazz musicians (Paul Newman and Sidney Poitier) living in Paris meet and fall in love with two vacationing American women (Joanne Woodward and Diahann Carroll). Soon, the two men must decide between music and love.

“A New Kind of Love is actually the good old reliable kind of love, but served up in a chic, uninhibited farce that makes the eternal theme as sprightly as spring.” —James Powers, The Hollywood Reporter

Paris becomes the playground for an opposites-attract comedy with real-life partners in the starring roles. Breezy reporter (Paul Newman) and no-nonsense fashion buyer (Joanne Woodward) collide, spar, and reinvent themselves amid couture houses and café society in the City of Lights.

Directed by Robert Mulligan, 1963
NR; 102 minutes

“Familiar in theme, but given a delightfully fresh flavour by [director Robert] Mulligan's atmospherically low-key direction, excellent performances from [Natalie] Wood and [Steve] McQueen, and vivid location shooting in New York's Little Italy.” —Tom Milne, Time Out

Angie Rossini (Natalie Wood), an innocent New York City salesclerk from a repressive Italian-American family, engages in a short-lived affair with Rocky Papasano (Steve McQueen), a handsome jazz musician.
