Selina D’Arcey is blind, yet she sees the world anew through the eyes of kindly Gordon Ralfe (Academy Award® winner* Sidney Poitier). An awkward Cinderella raised by a bigoted, abusive mother, Selina is white. She does not know that the man helping her learn to dial a pay phone or find the restroom is black. Elizabeth Hartman’s luminous screen debut as Selina earned her a Golden Globe® Award as Most Promising Newcomer. On the veteran side as Selina’s blowsy, bitter mother, Shelley Winters won her second Oscar.®** As directed by Guy Green (Oscar®-winning cinematographer for Great Expectations, 1947), the performances are timeless in A Patch of Blue. So is this fine film’s heart-soaring impact.

Very exciting news. I saw this on its opening day at the Crest Theater in Westwood and many times thereafter, there and elsewhere. I was obsessed with the movie and the music and especially Ms. Hartman, who I thought gave an absolutely amazing performance.

Well, one out of three ain't bad. Actually two (FRANKENSTEIN 1970, just for the Tom Weaver commentary). Okay, maybe all three for the Technicolor of SUMMER STOCK. I really like A PATCH OF BLUE, which should look great.

Well, one out of three ain't bad. Guess the days of four releases each month are over. I really like A PATCH OF BLUE, which should look great.

There were four Blu-ray announcements. One just happened to be a TV show.

 

[Roger Grodsky]

One of the very best Jerry Goldsmith scores ever!

I worked with Miss Hartman back in the summer of ‘66, or was it ‘67?

Sweet, kind soul. And the wonderful, Michael Dunn...

This was one of the the films they showed us as part of English classes in high school. 16mm full screen print... I would mind seeing it in OAR ...

So, You're a Big Boy Now.

Well certainly old...just like the rest of us!

(& I did get the film reference).

So, You're a Big Boy Now.

I would love to see YOU'RE A BIG BOY NOW on Blu.

Great cast, The Lovin Spoonful and direct by Francis Coppola.

So, where the hell did A PATCH OF BLUE go? Can't WAC be a bit more transparent about this on venues other than Facebook and Instagram, which some of us choose not to subscribe to?

As far as I know, there's been no word, but I strongly suspect, since it didn't even show up on the wbshop site, that it has been delayed, much like some of the titles we originally thought were announced for May last year (the only question is how long has it been delayed).

Looks like it's been confirmed as a May 28th release date.
