Paris Blues

Ram Bowen and Eddie Cook are two expatriate jazz musicians living in Paris where, unlike America at the time, Jazz musicians are celebrated and racism is a non-issue. When they meet and fall in love with two young American girls, Ram and Eddie must decide whether they should move back to America with them, or stay in Paris for the freedom it allows them.
