I am trying to find a 1950's or 1960's movie about a couple who visited an outdoor café where people played a game by clicking two balls together before rolling the ball. Bells chimed and birds flew against a sunset sky. The girl lived in a flat and had neighbor ladies who befriended her. Years later, the man has amnesia, and somehow comes to dinner at a friends house. His friend is the husband of the girl he once dated. The wife recognized the man. The man plays a game or works a puzzle with the child and a yellow wooden heart is missing. This triggers his memory that he once had a relationship with the child's mother. Perhaps the setting was Paris.

Moment to Moment (1965)
IMDb review:
Jean Seberg plays a bored housewife and mother vacationing on the French Riviera with her neglectful psychiatrist husband (Arthur Hill). While he is away on one of his frequent long business trips she drifts into an affair with a hunky sailor (Sean Garrison). As they motor around the area taking in the sights, they're accompanied by one of Henry Mancini's catchiest title songs.. . After a bad lover's quarrel, she accidentally shoots the sailor, and then she and her neighbor (Honor Blackman) drop his body in a nearby ravine. To reveal any more would spoil the unpredictable twists and turns of a deliciously absurd but completely absorbing plot.

You're welcome! I've identified this a number of times throughout the years at Q&A sites. I wish I could find a copy of this~an affordable one; and, I wish that TCM would air it someday. I think it has quite a following once they know the title. It's a true cult movie.
What a beautiful theme song it has!

I ordered this in DVD from Classic Movie Reel. Movie cost $12.95 with $4.75 shipping. I'm excited to see it again, and I'll let you know the quality (since it's a old movie). There are two snippets of the movie on YouTube, and they are relatively clear. I am hopeful I will be pleased with this DVD.
Thanks again

Thank you for letting me know that it's out there. I have used the clips from YouTube when I was identifying the movie for others. Maybe I'll be able to find an affordable copy someday. I recall really liking the movie~very glossy and melodramatic, with that wonderful Henry Mancini music.
