Sidney Poitier cemented his ascent to the Tinseltown firmament with this Guy Green (Light in the Piazza ) directed drama about a friendship between a black office worker (Poitier) and an uneducated blind white girl (Elizabeth Hartman in her screen debut). Selina d'Arcy lives with her racist, prostitute mother Rose-Ann (Shelley Winters, in an Academy Award® winning performance) and her alcoholic grandfather Ole Pa (character great Wallace Ford in his final film performance) and has scant knowledge of the outside world. But a chance encounter with the kindly Gordon Ralfe alters the trajectory of her life. This groundbreaking drama's glorious black and white photography from Robert Burks (Vertigo) shines as never before in this crisp 1080p HD presentation, while Jerry Goldsmith's soaring score has all the room it needs to deliver its sweep.
Special Features: Commentary by Director Guy Green; Featurette "A Cinderella Named Elizabeth"; Theatrical Trailer (HD). 16x9 Letterbox.
Directed By Guy Green
Starring Sidney Poitier, Shelley Winters, Elizabeth Hartman

Elizabeth Hartman was arguably Hollywood's greatest tragedy. Hartman was written completely out of Hollywood history and forgotten. I leave flowers on her grave whenever I pass through Youngstown.
I can't think of a more beautiful thing to do to leave flowers at her place of rest. I agree, Elizabeth Hartman wasn't given the recognition she deserved. Many (not all) of the actors who pass away at an early age were swept away as if they were nothing. My Mom is the one that told me about this wonderful old movie and I'm so happy I watched it which was countless times. I love Sidney Poitier and I can't imagine anyone but Elizabeth playing the role of Selena Darcy. She was absolutely brilliant. Thank you for remembering Elizabeth in such an honorable way. RIP🌷 Elizabeth Hartman ( Mary Elizabeth)
@@RobinMarconeCassidyRN Thank you so much. I recently wrote a letter to Biff's sister Janet asking for a interview. I had the idea of writing a bio about her. As of now Janet hasn't responded.
I'm 63 yrs/o. I'm not easily moved emotionally. But this is a movie that I have a tremendous love/hate relationship with. I love it because it's so powerful, one of the most powerful films I've ever seen, no...THE most. And I hate it because Selina's situation is so sad it makes me want to bash Shelly Winters head in with a 2x4 (great actress BTW). The realistic nature of the film makes it difficult to separate the movie from reality. Somewhere in my subconsciousness this really happened. The grandfather is an embarrassment to all men. I will always be grateful to Poitier's character for rescuing her from the hell of a life she in which she was trapped. I know about Elizabeth Hartmann's battle with depression and the tragic end she met. I'm sure she had people who cared about her who tried to save her. Must have been frustrating for them. I know a girl who's in a bad situation too, a good friend of mine. I don't know how to save her, it hurts.
Good for you man, makes me happy to hear that. I often wonder what level of greatness she would've achieved had she not suffered from crushing depression. Her portrayal of Selina was seriously heart wrenching.
@Willie Gordon Yeah Shelley Winters was about as good as they come, tremendous actress.
RIP Sidney Poitier (February 20, 1927 - January 6, 2022), aged 94
And
RIP Elizabeth Hartman (December 23, 1943 - June 10, 1987), aged 43
You both will always be remembered as legends.
This is a beautiful movie.
I was a little girl when I first saw this movie. Sidney Portier was one of my first crushes. Such a beautiful man and wonderful actor. Rest in Peace, dear Sir.
I saw this move in the 1960's as a kid. I never forgot it. The acting is off the chain.
Sadly this movie can not be made today.
Elizabeth Hartman, offered a flawless performance. She was a natural talent., able to hold her own with the late great Sidney Poitier and Shelley Winters. I miss them all. Love you Mr. Poitier.
RIP Mary Elizabeth Hartman: "Eternal Rest, grant to her O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her, and may she rest In peace."
One of my top 5 favorite films along with Roman Holiday, The Best Years of Our Lives, I Confess and Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison.
This was always in my top 5 of favorite movies. Elizabeth Hartman was not to different from her character, except she suffered from anxiety. Sidney was not to far different either. That is what made this movie so special. They really truly felt there characters, and the kindness from both was truly so real. Now both are hugging in heaven, seeing each other again...I will miss them both. I already miss her. The REAL people from Hollywood are all leaving us now. Truly makes me sad.
Sidney Poitier was one of the finest actors to ever grace the movies. This movie is so great.
I hope they’re able to reconnect now in the hereafter. RIP to both of these wonderful actors
I love this movie and I love Elisabeth. The beauty of blindness.
When I think of true love, rooted in innocence and with the warm heart of a child, I think of Elizabeth in a Patch of Blue. An amazing movie and a brilliant performance.
It does show that love is truly blind.!Brilliant movie and I cannot think of any other actors other than Elizabeth Hartman and Sidney Poitier to be in Patch of blue. I watched this movie so many times...Truly, a beautiful story.
One of my absolute favourites. Such a quiet gem.
Brilliant film. Stellar performances all around. RIP Mr Poitier, thank you for the movie magic.
Spiritually he has now soared above that great patch of blue in the sky.
Great film! It's so tragic and beautiful at the same time. One of the most moving portraits of love and compassion extended to a vulnerable young woman trapped in a cruel and hopeless environment. Thank you to these wonderful and legendary actors for their brilliant performances.
This was a totally killer movie!!! I loved it!!!
I watched this years ago and cried. One of the best movies ever. Emotional. Rip to both. 🦋🌠🦋
I love this movie! Wish someone could upload it. Great acting by great actors. Made during the civil rights era. Probably the first kiss between a black and white at that time wow!
It beat out Star Trek by a few years.
If you want to see the movie online go to Internet Archive open library and pull up: A patch of blue and you can see the whole movie uncut it is a great movie
Bettie Blakey you can also view it on the site Ok.ru!
Guess Who's Coming To Dinner. I remember reading that Sidneys first 15 or so movies were basically all about race, or segregation, in one form or another. This one included. After that he started to just star in movies as a "man" - instead of a "black man".
One of my favorite films. It's near the top. I was in high school when Elizabeth Hartman comitted suicide. Such a tragedy and loss. I remember her voice role in The Secret of NIMH.
I'm black and I don't care about rasism, or heck what people think, him and her are perfect couple, in relationship
@@nanaosaki481 I dressed casual....
Because of the way this man acts and how he treats people. Imagine if the majority of the blacks in the us were like him
@@daledoback8584 imagine if all people regardless of colour was like him...
GOD BLESS SIDNEY POITIER...HE WAS A GIFT TO THE WORLD!
INDEED HE WAS, IS!
Oh this movie was beautiful. It made me cry.
RIP Sidney Poitier!
A deeply moving film
It shook me when I saw it as a kid.
Elizabeth was born to be an artist. She was brilliant.
A year later in 1966, she was in the film The Group, one of a bevy of 1930s graduates of an elite girls college.
I just saw this movie after all these years. I'm in my 50's now, I'm watching old movies during this guaranine crap. I remember my mom telling me that i was too young to watch this movie because of the foul language and the subject matter of racism/prejudices in America. She told me she didn't want me being subjected to negative ideologies at my young age, because i wouldn't understand it. She thought that the topic would corrupt my thinking. (In her mind). I guess she felt she needed to shelter me from the outside real world. This was a fantastic movie with great acting and the subject matter is not one that I would deem as overly complex for even a young child. It has very warm and charming moments about human compassion towards one another regardless of background and regardless of those who have their biasness towards those who don't look like them. I don't know what my mom was concerned about, but she was from another generation, being the reason i suppose. This movie took me back , waaaaaaaaaaaay back to a wonderful time of my life as a young kid in the 60's, when the world was full of innocent discovery for me. It being in black and white is how i also saw the world during those years without color (if you know what i mean, in a good way). This movies portrays many socio-economic depths as well as the color divide. Wonderful Movie! Black and white movies always seem to have more depth, because it's done in era's where acting was relied on more than effects and cgi. I LOVE LOVE LOVED this movie. I hate that it took me this long to see it and that my mother was still living in the past of that time, in order to forbid me to see it. For all the wrong reasons, i know now! :)
I think you are right about black and white movies.... If a b/w movie impressed you, it is not because of dazzzling colors and cgi, but purely of its qualities such as good acting, good story etc.. ....
Thank you for sharing and reminiscing about the best years (in my opinion) which were our time.
This story profoundly influenced me as a Black man. Gordon became my idol, example of what's good.
decades later a dedicated father I became despite the destructive energy in my house, I persevered/tolerated and produced world class performers from the ghetto of Los Angeles.
Never had my blood line attended a university, Hell I produced an Engineer, an LVN and a Lawyer.
I became an Ivy League Dad! thanks Gordon!
RIP Sidney Poitier and Elizabeth Hartman
RIP Sidney 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
I love that movie and still watch it ❤️
I’m only 13 and I just found this movie it’s great
Such a great movie
My favorite classic 💝
Hi...did you ever read the book...the ending in the book is very different.
This is a fantastic movie
I watched this movie when i was 7 years old.
Saw this movie a year ago. It is very sad what happened to Elizabeth Hartman and her tragic suicide. I also found out recently Sidney Poitior died too. RIP
At least he lived to be almost 100
@@joewhitehead3 that's true.
R.I.P. SIDNEY POITIER ~ ❤
I am only 26, and I grew up watching the secret of nymh.
That's all I ever knew about this elezabeth woman. I even found a cat, and I named her is Mrs. brisby.. it's so sad, I just found out today her suicide. 😔 She had the most beautiful voice 💔 ready easy Mrs. Heartman.
In 1966 she was in the film The Group, played one of a bevy of 1930s graduates of an elite girls college.
@@JudgeJulieLit She was also in "The Beguiled" with Clint Eastwood around the same time.
@@TheVanillatech A fine actress. So tragic that she capitulated to a mood of despair, so to end her life that was so full of promise and past art achievement.
@@JudgeJulieLit It happens. Some people are just genetically pre-dispositioned to depression, even suicide. Others find themselves in bad situations epi-genetically, through past horrors or troubles.
Point is, there are always people around. But nobody stepped in to help. Same story with Whitney Houston. And countless others. But Whitney burned that candle at both ends, and fried many braincells with over a decade of substance abuse. Not saying her death wasn't tragic, but Hartman seemed to be a lost angel. Which makes it all the more sad.
@@TheVanillatech Good comment. But there are not always "people around" (perceptive and caring interventional, non- "Job's comforter" jeerer) to stop the suicide of a beleaguered hypersensitive.
Secret Of Nimh was an amazing movie. Don Bluth at his best - no wonder Disney wanted him so much, and he was so close with Walt. When I was a kid, my Dad would let me and my brother stay up to watch Secret Of Nimh whenever it was on - usually every December near Christmas. I was far too young to fully understand it at first, afraid of the Owl and Brutus the rat, but I got such warm feelings from Mrs Brisby even back then.
When I got older and understood the movie, I looked into the voice actors, and found lots of Elizabeths movies (like this one) and watched them. Then I read her story. And it was completely sad. Such a pretty girl, a beautiful woman, so good at her craft - she had everything going for her. But nobody saved her.
When my kids were old enough, I put "Patch Of Blue" on one night instead of a Disney movie or a latest "blockbuster". Surprisingly, maybe because I kinda narrated the more mature ideas behind the film, they both sat raptured and my eldest actually re-watched it a few times. My youngest loved the part where they go shopping together. It was great because it opened the door to many other classic 50's and 60's movies, and it broadened their horizons in terms of storytelling over spectacle.
Also - regarding Hollywoods greatest tragedy, I think of Elizabeth Hartman and I also think of the little girl that played Ducky in "The Land Before Time". Which coincidentally, like Secret Of Nimh, is also a Don Bluth production. She was murdered in her home, along with her mother, by her jealous and alcoholic father one day. The artists working with Don were so upset when they heard, having worked with her for months and based their character drawings on her mannerisms, that they couldn't work for weeks - they couldn't even listen to her lines recordings in order to draw her character without breaking down.
Uno de mis grandes recuerdos...belleza.👀👍💜💙💜💙💜
Dónde puedo ver esta película completa en español??
@@Kronflax No se.Ojala se pueda hallar.Hermosa historia de amor puro...conmueve.
Just watched this movie today. Sad to hear what happened to hartman .
유튜브에서 보게 되다니 뭉클
Sydney is my cousin and if he’d known that Elizabeth was going through mental anguish he would’ve been her real life Gordon
I'd be curious as to what Sidney Poitier thinks is his WORST film. I haven't seen him a bad one that I recall. In the Heat of the Night is one of my favorite films.
@@fuzzywzhe He acted right through his dotage. Ending with many "made for TV" movies. Pretty sure some of those would have been ... average. But it's important to keep busy, for the mind and the body.
@@TheVanillatech I always respected Sydney Poitier. When he was asked about politics, he refused to answer, saying he's an actor and he believed his political viewpoints were too unimportant to opine publicly about. I would like to see Porgy and Bess at some point. Eventually, some archivist will release it to the world.
@@fuzzywzheMr. Poitier was threatened to be blackballed if he did not perform in Porgy and Bess. He wasn't happy at all about the story, acting, directing of the film The long ship. I understand that he needed the money.The film is terrible. I was relieved to learn this.😅 Love you Sidney Poitier.

Her own mother Blinded her
That’s what I’m saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Winters piggish portrayal of the disgusting Roseanne was impeccable.
WarnerMedia must have some plan to acquire the rights of MGM.
Lucas Moura Quaresma Better not, lest we get even deeper into monopoly territory
WB has owned most of MGM's library for a good while.
They have every movie from the MGM library minus the ones that were distributed by United Artists and Orion Pictures.
Does anyone else remember in the original black and white version, there was an early scene in the park, where the film suddenly turns blue? I can't find any version of the film with this intact, nor can I find any evidence of this ever even existing, yet I remember it vividly. And when you watch the scene in question, the film stock actually looks different from the rest of the movie. Someone please tell me they remember this, cos I think I'm going crazy!
I seem to recall something like that too. Amazing movie. Selina has been in my head since the first time I saw this movie over 50 years ago. I'm so grateful to Poitier's character foe rescuing her.
Great film all except a couple of lines in the film...one is when he enters the room and asked her why she's sitting in the dark and the other is when she asked him when will I see you again?
All I'd like to do is watch it - not go to sites that promise and don't deliver!!
Behind, the scenes of this movie, which the actors managed to do good work with their performance, they ascertain their pathway to the future by means of developing a liaison of business enterprise while performing another innuendo in order to build their business clientele- era 1960's penal code 100-103. In fact, the young blind lady refers to a character Keith Sebeluis who will sell rabbit meat, then laughs.....Bell v. Eagle Mt. Saginaw Indep. Sch. Dist., 529 F. Supp. 3d 605, 2021 U.S. Dist.
