  • In this scene Selina D'arcy played by Elizabeth Hartman attempts to cross the street so she can meet Gordon in the park played by Sidney Poitier.

    Elizabeth did not the credit she deserved.
    Great talent.

    Elizabeth was so good in this movie. I was sad when I learned she had bad depression and committed suicide in 1987. She left her mark forever in this film though.

    I was so frightened for her watching this scene, I was so happy at the end when Sidney Poitier rescued her from Shelley Winters!

    As much as I love Julie Christie, I think that Miss Hartman deserved the Oscar that year. When it came to showing pathos, fragility, and vulnerability I think that only Judy Garland was perhaps her equal.

    This movie was so beautifully acted by Elizabeth Hartman and Sidney Poitier, I wish it were on CZcams to watch for free.

    The scene that follows soon after this, Selina alone in her one room apartment, which ends with her in a heap on the floor weeping "Oh, my darling", was a dramatic tour de force by Elizabeth Hartman acting in isolation that left the crew deeply moved as they watched her in silence.
    In my opinion, Elizabeth Hartman's acting and the power of the scenes she acts out in this movie aren't exceeded by anything I can think of in movie history.

      Totally agree! She should have won Best Actress!

    Some scenes in some movies are very difficult to watch. This scene is certainly one of them.

    They should have gotten her a cane. Also in those days Walk signs didn't chirp for visually-impaired people.

      They (her mother and grandfather) didn't give her a cane because they wanted her to never leave the house. They wanted full control of her.

    In watching this short, we notice George Seldes with the new Republic Magazine trying to take notice of these set-ups. In fact, approximately 1:19 the blind lady runs into the man in the dark suit a symbol of either the 40's or 60's runner called a doppelganger notwithstanding a runner for G/warfare. He later, claims it was a defamation of his character.Weyrich v. New Republic_ Inc._ 235 F.3d 617 In hindsight, approximately 1:29 the clean cut gent says "he's st/pid it means pa/runner."

    I thought there were laws about bikes and skateboards on the sidewalk

      Those laws, and other pedestrian and traffic safety regulations, came later ... as usual, by the proactive initiatives of a few ameliorators.

    Why doesn’t she have a walking stick? So unrealistic.
