Is Paris Burning?

Just watched this classic old movie again this evening.The movie was released in 1966, so figure it was being filmed in Paris @ 1964>1965, while I was at PAHS. (screen play by Gore Vidal & Francis Ford Coppola)

Pretty cool to see so much film of what Paris looked like while I was there.

My parents were not very happy about being stationed near Paris for 4 years - and I can recall only visiting the city 2 or 3 times with my family during those 4 years. So, I skipped school a great many times in order to spend the day walking the streets of Paris.  I loved the city, and upon graduating in 1966 I certainly did not want to return to the USA.. Those 4 years , as a teenager, were very formative years.

In any event - if you'd like to revisit B&W Paris during our high school years , check this DVD out from your library!
