today, it would probably be no big deal BUT ... she looks 100% white. She looks like a Natalie Wood type. Back in those days if she were to date a black man, they probably would have been killed by some white people or at least seriously hurt on more than one occasion. The way I see it, she had no choice but to be white. I felt sorry for her mom though. Tough situation all around.
OMG I love this movie so much it came on TV the other day but I had to leave to go class...If you have the entire film could you please PLEASE post it
´How am I ment to tell my child, she was born to hate¨´ I just wanna say thanks for keeping the tragic mulatto myth alive, this movie and itś motives are rarely questioned.
this did happen alot back in the days and still does in some countries. dominican republic, puerto rico, and anywhere in latin america where the influence is heavily african and spanish you will find hand fulls of mulatos who don't wish to identify with their black side.
I always felt a little sorry for Sarah Jane, of course she should have never denied her mother, but she lived in a time when white people had more advantages than black people. So I guess she felt like she was just surviving and she didn't realize how much she was hurting her mother and herself in the process.
I cry everytime I see this part. And the funeral scene when Mahalia Jackson sings- WOW weepy weepy!

I loved this movie, it was touchable, we still have many prejudices nowadays.

Look at 1:25. Lana is really thin throughout this film, especially by '50s standards- Taylor, Monroe, Loren, Bardot.

This is my all time favorite movie. Probably because I went through the same thing. Since it's the 21st century it wasn't as extreme.

I noticed how Sandra Dee's hair went from blond to ash blond. Can hair naturally change color like that?

@pheno09 u do realize this movie was made in the 50's.

That movie was made in 1958 and the tragic mulatto myth is not a good one. It makes for a great story, but some people take it seriously.
