A Patch Of Blue

Categories: Movies | Drama Films | Romance Films

  • A Patch Of Blue is a 1965 film about a blind white woman who falls in love with an African-American man during the heyday of the American Civil Rights Movement. The plot is a thinly veiled metaphor for the concept of color-blindness, or the adage that "Love is Blind." Sidney Poitier stars as the male lead, opposite then-newcomer Elizabeth Hartman, with an Oscar-winning supporting performance by Shelley Winters. Hartman—a native of Youngstown, OH, who was chosen for the role despite being an acting unknown—received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Her subsequent roles included work on You're a Big Boy Now, The Beguiled and The Secret of NIMH. She fell from a building in 1987, a presumed suicide.

      Sun's rising. There's a patch of blue and clouds are parting. Looks like a nice day ahead.

      My hotel room has the weirdest balcony ever: 3 metres long but only 60cm wide, with zero view apart from a small patch of bright blue sky.

      Gotta love Austin, where you can stand in a patch of sunlight looking at blue sky while snow falls gently around you.
