Summary: Magnificent ! Brilliant ! Stellar !
Comment: This is a truly classic film, and, perhaps, the best movie Sidney Poitier ever made. It is so touching, it feels real !
I feel so sad for Elizabeth Hartman, who passed away at such an early age, that everytime I see it, I become sadder and sadder, knowing that she is no longer with us.
I heard she was the youngest female actress ever to be nominated for a Academy Award for this role. She was only 22. I only wish she had won it.
She certainly deserved it. And I know that it would have made her very happy and might have changed her life afterwards.
They don't make movies like this anymore, and, I doubt they ever shall.
It was from the golden era of movies, unfortunately, long gone.

Summary: Abt A Patch of Blue
Comment: Almost 42 years ago I read the story while I was learning English during a one-year stay in England in 1966. Unfortunately I lost the book somewhere between 1966 and 2008! However I kept hoping that some day I would be able to see the movie and I did, thanks to Amazon. This was great!

Summary: One of Sidney Poiter's Best!!
Comment: I first saw this movie a long time ago, late night on television. I was blown away by the acting of all the cast, especially Sidney Poitier and Elizabeth Hartman. The tragedy is that their was never a second part to this movie, though I don't think you can out do the first. I watch this movie over and over again and still get choked up at the end. This is definitely a "classic" and a "keeper". Any true Sidney Poiter fan will have this one in their collection. Remember, this movie came out at a time when black actors had meager roles to play and could never, ever have a "romantic" role with a white female actoress. There was some backlash to its making, but most of the reviewers at the time gave it 4 stars. There is something for all of us to learn in this movie - black, white, old or young. Just like Elizabeth Hartman's character says " Tolerance". What a little word that says so much!

Summary: Oh man,this is a stunner
Comment: I haven't seen this film since it's original release.
I just watched it now and am blown away.
The soundtrack is just gorgeous and the acting is incredible by the entire
cast.
But how on earth didn't Hartman get an Oscar??
I will have to research and find out who beat her out.
You got to be kidding me if you don't think that was an oscar performance.
