A Patch of Blue
Capsule by Pat Graham
From the Chicago Reader

Elizabeth Hartman--a Julie Hagerty out of step and season--made her debut in this 1965 feature, as a blind girl who falls in love with a black man (Sidney Poitier), much to the consternation of all. Shelley Winters won an Oscar for being her own unbearable self (as Hartman's nagging mother) and Guy Green (The Magus) directed with eyes on the noble Kleenex box and visions of Stanley Kramer running through his noggin. 95 min.
