The ending

yeah the end is good but it's sad in a way also cause by that point Newman & Woodward were expecting again in real life so to film the bit at the trainstation with the girls leaving alone had to be underneath painful for them to shoot especially with her hit and miss history with pregnancy & having a toddler at home who wanted a sibling closer to her age and scared that if something happened and they lost the baby again and had to explain to her that Mom had been expecting another child but wasn't anymore how she'd react but thankfully it didn't happen like that and Lissy was born on the day the film was released

"why are you married to him then if you can't work with him how do you live with him?"

I wondered that too, especially how that last shot was filmed in an almost ominous fashion. Comparing the two characters though, I don't think Poitier's Eddie is going to stay in Paris. He'll end up back in America with Connie, but Ram will end up sticking with the music in Paris.

I agree with you, I thought it was somehow unfair that the two girls would try so hard to make the musicians leave the city they loved, and never even considered giving up their own background. It was like Paris was supposed to be a dream place, but not a real home -except for artists.
Still, there was the fact Lillian had two children from a previous marriage: maybe she couldn't see herself raising them up in a foreign country with a new language to learn and a bohemian stepfather...But at least I feel that Connie, who was younger and less tied to her country, could have given it a try.
