A Patch of Blue- RARE COLOR VERSION: Shelley Winters as racist abusive mother

[EinsteinattheMovies]

In color, the movie sort of looks like a old 1960's soap opera

[IndoBikeTraveler]

how did they color the original bw? anybody knows?

[MarquisWorks]

im watchin this at school

[MuscleDaddyCMH]

Shelley Winters jumped off the screen and grabbed you by the throat in this, to the point you just wanted to launch yourself at the screen and kill her. A tribute to her great abilities.

I like the black and white version better - it suites the film better but thank you for uploading I never knew there was a color version of the film.

[TheWildswan69]

thank you for posting this in color.

Shelley Winters plays a racist ignorant mother who abuses her own daughter(who is blind)for her own means. Shelley Winters won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 1965 for this role. Its amazing that Elizabeth Hartman should have won or nominated as Best Actress for this film. I remember seeing this movie in black and white and it looked superior in black and white.

I first saw this movie in school and the other students groaned that it was in black and white. I think the film is superior in black and white because the story is about a blind girl and she can't see color.

Roseann D'Arcy reminds me a lot of Mary Jones from Precious. Both abusive towards their own kin, and get nothing out of it in return.

Wow- colorized AND panned and scanned to 4x3! Too bad they didn't also do a stereo remix.

I first saw this movie years ago on Encore in the early 90s when I was in junior high. It became a favorite of mine. For some odd reason, this fight scene was funny, and I found it irresistible.

Somehow the color makes this feel like a made-for-tv movie, instead of the classic it is. Just my opinion.

[Matto2t]

@lmvilla

I agree. The colorizing makes this movie look as if it were made a few years ago, instead of 1965. Seeing this movie in black and white makes it more enjoyable; the color just makes it look like it was recently and cheaply made. Seeing this in color right now kind of reminds me of the first and second seasons of Bewitched shown on TV being in color. In those episodes, the color took away the classic look of black and white.

Winters first achieved stardom with her breakout performance as the victim of insane actor Ronald Colman in George Cukor's A Double Life, in 1948

@LauraAmiga I don't mind some films in black and white but some I really want want to see in color.

[cmhmuscle]

a truly great performance that did its job on the audience. In other words, we all wanted to jump at the screen and strangle her....

[YoungFrankenstein]

GOD! WHAT A BRILLIANT PIECE OF ACTING!

[mnmcv1]

anyone who questions if Shelley Winters could really need to see this, along with "A Double Life", "A Place in the Sun", "Night of the Hunter", "Odds Against Tomorrow", "The Scalphunters", "Next Stop, Greenwich Village", not to mention the best of her comedic work.

Did she veer towards ham? Of course! Lousy movies? Much of the time! But she was NEVER less than watchable, and every once in a while, stumbled into the brilliant...

[CharmingSage]

I agree. BRILLIANT actress.

[etrax2000]

@mnmcv1 Shelley is the only actress of which I will watcxh her in any films. i am still suprised to see that she did so many yet to be broadcast on a regular basis.

[PassionateGoth]

Peice of shit ignorant mother.

[oddsource]

@PassionateGoth its the times of that era... my friends grandpa hates whites because that's just what he was taut by his family to hate white people. So I couldn't play snes back in the day with him even though we were neighbors and school friends.

[gordiepro]

U 3 buck broad u LMAO

[NtheAMtry2rise]

I could'nt tell, but were her eyes blue?... I was wondering why they called it "A Patch of Blue"... I was thinking maybe her eyes were blue.

[gordiepro]

its because she remembers the sky is blue

[NtheAMtry2rise]

Thanks.

[peacenlove637]

That mom is a straight up bitch.

[lafingtall]

[Matto2t]

@lafingtall
