True Love Knows No Color
Added 4/12/2009
Selina D'Arcy(Elizabeth Hartmann)is blind; but, she meets a kindley man(Sidney Poitier) and begins to see the world anew. He, so to speak, takes her under his wing and even shows her how to dial a telephone; however, the problem is that she is white and her mentor is black. Selina has been raised by a very abusive, bitter mother(Shelley Winters) who ,naturally, can see and knows that this man is black and is dead set against her daughter having anything to do with him. As the story developes, you will be impressed with the sterling performances of the actors and expierence the heart pounding climax of this fine film.

Time Has Not Diminished This Movie
Added 3/31/2009
It is amazing that although this movie was made in the 60s, its appeal is as strong as ever. It is the alternately touching and triumphant story of a 18 year old girl, Selina, blinded accidentally by her mother at the age of five. Her daily existence consists of life in a dreary, run-down apartment with her over-bearing, abusive mother and maternal grandfather. While both parental figures are anything but an upstanding example of people of character, her grandfather does possess a degree of compassion towards her. Selina has managed without benefit of any formal education to emerge as a character of warmth, who like all of us really longs simply to love and be loved. One day she meets an older, professional man Gordon who opens Selina's eyes (figuratively speaking) to an existence beyond the one that she has known all of her life. There are complications (it's the 60s) because she is white and he is black. I don't want to spoil it for you. Truly an amazing, heart-wrenching movie that will leave you rooting for them both. A must see!

Incredible movie, saw it in 1972 and again in 2009!
Added 2/14/2009
I saw this incredibly good movie in 1972 and bought it for my 12 year old son in 2009. It just took his breath away. He said it was "Too good." This is a keeper for always. The main character (Gordon) movingly respects Selina despite her lack of worldly knowledge. Selina copes with an untenable situation with remarkable resiliency. The ending is delightful.
