Bobby Short, the "king of café society," performs a set of Tin Pan Alley classics by Cole Porter, George Gershwin and Stephen Sondheim in an unforgettable show at New York City's venerated Cafe Carlyle. Songs include "Breakfast in Harlem," "On the Amazon," "Too Marvelous for Words," "Honeysuckle Rose," "The Best Is Yet to Come" and "Losing My Mind." Later, the cameras follow Short home to offer a look at the man behind the music.

The city is Paris, where the Arc de Triomphe curves majestically over the Champs Elys es and the Eiffel Tower pierces the Parisian skyline. This intimate exploration of the world's most glorious city traces Paris' history.

A tour of the city seen through the eyes of its artists, architects and poets.
