MCT:March 17, 2008As with nearly all of Sidneys'movies loved this movie very much ,but the girls mother was cruel to her. Ending was sad to me.

Excellent movie about a 17 year old blind girl who never in her life has been to school or taught any of the things blind people are able to now do. One day her grandpa takes her to the park and she meets Gordon Ralph who helps her to fend for herself. Now this movie is in the early sixties time period so a african - american man and a white woman together in that era might have looked wrong to the people but Selina not knowing or caring about the color of his skin becuase she cannot see it loves just for the person he is. " Gordon I love you. I know your colored but your beautiful." Most people would say the oppisite." "But that is cause they don't know you".

This was a cool movie. I don't think I've ever thought about people who were poor and blind, so they lacked the opportunity to read brail, and other things, etc.

MCT:November 4, 2007Sidney Poitier, Shelly Winters (her second Oscar), Elizabeth Hartman and Acadamy nominated music in a great story. I saw it when it was in the theaters - long ago. I'm going to put it on my list of movies to see again soon.

Shelley Winters is a tour de force as a neglectful mother of a blind daughter. This is a must see!!!

I was 9 yrs old when this came out and I saw it in the theater then and thought it so beautiful I wept. I'm a 51 yr old (old) girl now and watched it again tonight - and wept. Everything about this film is just perfection including the memorable score.

Rosanne is the mother of a blind girl and treats her with harsh cruelty.Winters' character makes us see the blueprint of racism in the World.There is no future for Selena,until she is rescued by the kindness of a man she hardly knows.
To John and Selena, Love is blind. -

Love this movie, watch it every time I catch it on. There are no real differences in people other than what our eyes see. Great movie!
-
MCT:August 16, 2007The movie that made Jungle Fever possible. Worth watching just to see that Poitier and the girl actually have great chemistry together,. which really pissed off the racist rednecks at the time.

This film about a blind girl in a dysfunctional family, who is befriended by Sidney Poitier is a good character study as well as a nice picture.

One of my fave movies. Good acting by Sidney Poiter and pardon I can't recall the lead actress' name..

One of the sweetesst stories about love being truly color blind. I fell in love with Sidney when I saw this movie and I love him to this day.

Absolutely amazaing movie. I've been wanting to see it for a very long time and just recently had the chance to sit down and watch it. Fantastic performances by everyone!

The late Elizabeth Hartman really deserved her academy award nomination as the blind Selina in this classic.

I saw his film when i was eleven years old. The first time i was introduced to sidney poiter(a great AMERCIAN ACTOR). It made me cry. Powerful film on social thinking/RACISM during this time.

Undoubtedly a socially relevant movie, and a very effective one at that. The leads are both sensational in their roles, especially a heartbreaking Elizabeth Hartman in what is perhaps the best debut performance ever from an actress, and the chemistry between them is just riveting. The only real complaint I have is that Shelley Winters' (while great in the role) character is a little too wicked and evil to be more than one dimensional.
-
MCT:November 17, 2006
Shelley Winters was so wicked and Sidney Poitier was so good that it was unbelievable (especially the former). The sentimental parts made me dub this "A Pot of Goo."

The first Sidney Poitier movie I ever saw, when I was in junior high (?). I totally fell in love with him because of this movie, and he remains one of my favorite people, on and off screen. Oh -- the movie is great!

I understand that, for the decade it was released, it was ahead of its time in many ways, and as far as black and white goes (no pun intended) I liked this one.
-
MCT:September 18, 2006
This movie was a great commentary on the racial issues of the time, but without sight we know no colour it was beautiful...
-
MCT:August 12, 2006
Okay, I admit, I have a thing for these actors. I think Sidney Poitier is beautiful in this. So perhaps my judgement on this movie will not be as accurate as it should be. However, this movie always makes me smile and cry and get butterflies in my stomach. I think it's a beautiful story about a blind girl from a poor family who falls in love with a black man. A great romance made in 1965 during the beginning of the civil rights movement.

very moving and touchy film on such an issue, which im so glad really isnt a problem anymore, that really does have a effect. Shelley Winters is on fire in this, she does a great performance in this, u hate her so much, but thats the beauty of it, she does
