Note: Set of two photographs depicting Sidney Poitier during the filming of *Paris Blues*, a film directed by Martin Ritt and released in 1961, on the banks of the Seine in Paris with Notre-Dame Cathedral and the riverboats in the background. This jazz-themed musical drama brings together Sidney Poitier, Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, and Diahann Carroll in an elegant portrayal of the artistic and cosmopolitan Paris of the early 1960s. Sidney Poitier, a major figure in American cinema and the first African American actor to achieve international stardom in Hollywood, cemented his importance in the socially conscious cinema of his era with this film. The Parisian on-set photographs associated with *Paris Blues* are of particular interest to collectors of American cinema, jazz, and 20th-century views of Paris.
