Sent to Paris to steal fashion ideas, department store buyer Samantha Blake (Woodward) decides a complete makeover is in order so people will stop mistaking her for a boy. Instead, she is mistaken for a Parisian "Lady of the Night" and decides to play up that role. Meanwhile, American journalist Steve Sherman (Newman) is in Paris to write about the fashion shows, but decides instead to write about this mysterious "Lady of the Night" and the two find themselves falling in love.

Summary: A New Kind of Love
Comment: This is a fun romantic comedy, I love this movie. If you are a fan of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward than you want this one in your collection.
They are both sexy and funny and Joanne brings a side of women that we can all identify with.
Thelma Ritter is one of my favorite supporting actresses, her sarcastic style of humor just makes all the rest work.

Summary: Fashion Feast
Comment: The only reason to wach this very silly movie is to experience the glorious fashions of the early 1960's. But they are pretty glorious. Paul Newman at the height of his physical perfection is another type of eye candy. Brad who?

Summary: CUTE CUTE MOVIE
Comment: I'm in love with Paul Newman so this might sound a little biased. It is such an adorable movie. My boyfriend and I laughed so many times and it is just a cute, fun movie with a nice man to look at while watching. I LOVE YOU PAUL!!!!

Summary: disappointing Kind Of Love
Comment: I'd not seen this movie before, but being a HUGE fan of Newman+Woodward, thought it worth the gamble of buying it ... sadly, I was horribly disappointed with the movie ... the only good thing about the whole thing is watching the Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward acting together, knowing they were a couple in real life. What a load of twaddle is this movie!@*! But then again, to each their own.

Summary: "I've never kissed a policeman--no wonder I'm emotionally retarded"
Comment: A NEW KIND OF LOVE is a sleek and stylish romantic comedy starring Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman--as romantic cynics on working holidays in the city of Paris.
Joanne Woodward plays Sam, a fashion designer who copies her pieces from other houses and sells them in a bargain-basement department store. She's a "semi-virgin" who has given up on love--until during a buyer's trip to Paris she meets womanising journalist Steve (Paul Newman). There aren't any sparks until Sam hits the salons and reinvents herself as "Mimi", a glamorous call-girl with a neverending collection of colourful stories.
Steve syndicates a column about the misadventures of "Mimi", until Sam's double life begins to spin hilariously out of control--and Steve's real feelings are discovered...
A NEW KIND OF LOVE is a colourful trip to Paris, filled with gorgeous gowns (provided by the leading fashion houses including Magnin, Pierre Cardin, Christian Dior, Lanvin-Castille, and Yves Saint Laurent). Edith Head also provides the regular wardrobe for Joanne Woodward. Never before and never again would Ms Woodward look half as ravishing as she does here. The wigs and clothes are out of this world! Ms Woodward was Golden Globe Award-nominated for her work.
Paul Newman delivers a great comedic performance here, too. The supporting cast includes the ever-reliable Thelma Ritter (in a Laurel Award-winning performance), George Tobias (aka Abner Kravitz from "Bewitched"), Eva Gabor, and a cameo from Maurice Chevalier.
The DVD sadly does not feature any extras, but just having this forgotten gem on DVD is a joy. (Single-sided, single-layer disc).
