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

In this 1965 movie, Shelley plays a racist woman who's blind daughter starts dating a black man. The daughter never knows her boyfriend is black untill her prejudiced mother objects.

The moral of the movie is that if you are blind, you cannot tell the difference if someone is black or white. There are good people and bad people in every race.

The colorized version of this movie was never released on vhs or dvd, and it hasn't aired on TV in years.

@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.

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.

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.
