A Patch Of Blue

Hello Moviemainers,

Here we are already into the second month of the year.  I started thinking about a film for the month of February.  Sidney Poitier passed away on January 6 of this year, although he made many wonderful films with some classic lines in them, for me it is a film 1965  A Patch Of Blue with Elizabeth Hartman and Shelly Winters.  The film tells the story of a blind girl who is abused by her mother and spends her days in the park making beaded necklaces.  She meets a man played by Sidney Poitier and he helps her to a better life.  This is the film considered his most successful in his career.  He agreed to a reduced salary for 10 percent of the film gross, which was a smart thing to do, as it was a successful film and made a lot of money.  Shelly Winters won for best supporting actress at the Academy Awards.

Now we have not been able to be together for a film and dinner since January 2020.  I do not know how you all feel about getting together but we would love to host this month on Friday February 18 up here in Westbrook.  I understand if you do not feel comfortable because of covid, but if you do we would love to see everyone.   Friday February 18 117 Grandview Drive in Westbrook (it is not really that far) we will make it an early evening.  Please let me know RSVP if you can make it.
