Review
"Peter Miller, a small town American boy, visited Paris in the 1950's with a camera and a voracious sense of wonder. The sensitive black and white photographs, and the accompanying memoirs, attempt to lay bare both the city and the young Miller of that period. The photographs do not display mature artistry, but their very naiveté captures well a mythic Paris which exists, perhaps, only in the imagination of the very young and very romantic."

Synopsis
