highly recommended

A black man's burgeoning love affair with a blind white girl is complicated by her racist, controlling mother.

Sensitive, moving, haunting

Sidney Poitier does his usual stellar work, but it's the tragic, delicate Elizabeth Hartman who steals the show, and the viewer's heart.

Shelley Winters, who received the Supporting Actress Oscar for her work in this film, is convincingly horrid as a blowsy, whorish mother to Hartman's character.

Oh man,this is a stunner

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.

One of Sidney Poiter's Best!!

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!

Abt A Patch of Blue

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!

A Patch of Blue

This movie was my favorite growing up. It's become a classic in my family as my daughter enjoys watching it as a young adult.
