Alex Torres, a lawyer and part-time detective sent to Paris after the death of Alejandro Sarmiento to locate the heir to a 3 million peso inheritance. What should have been a straightforward search slowly pulls him into a small, restless world of jazz bars, runaways, and even unexpected love. Unbeknownst to him, Lili Gamboa was sent to watch his every move, though the assignment doesn’t stay simple once feelings start to get involved.

Pitong Gabi sa Paris

1961

After a series of successful concerts at the Araneta Coliseum in May 1960, American pop singer Neil Sedaka was contracted by LVN Pictures to appear in a musical featurette called “Festival in Rhythm.” The film was shown as an added attraction to “Dahlia” which was released in July. “Festival in Rhythm,” originally shot in color, was a compilation of musical numbers featuring LVN stars and singing and dancing talents leading up to Neil Sedaka. The only surviving print is a black and white workprint from the color original. Since black-and-white positive film stock was not full-color sensitive, warm colors (like skin tones) print dark, hence the dark complexion of the actors in the film.
