My Review

A patch of Blue is one of best movies I ever see for a old movie back in the days the acting was amazing as well the story was also written very good enough to drop everything your doing and just watch the friendship between them two it was good she was blind and he was black they meet in a odd way too she was Straining some Beads and a grass hopper though in her shirt and he offer to help her out and that how they meet and become good friends she sure ask a lot of questions but it is cute how they meet but story has more this was friendship back in time where rules between black and white was up in the air so they had to be careful from lots finding out and her Rose as well her mom who is played by the great Shelley Winters love some of her movies and trust me she play a mean mom in this one so good on acting so added that to movie as story as well makes it good as well.

Best part of movie is when they are shopping for food it was fun watching Sidney Poitier was amazing he made this Scene fun to watch with her he also helping her out so she won’t mess up too also the girl is very smart too this again proves how great this movie is with great acting as well as story this I hope won many awards because it was written so good too as for ending it was kind of sad but I understand it had to end that way not going to let over shadow this movie that for sure.

This one of many great movies we had in 60’s in my view great acting from Elizabeth Hart and Sidney Poitier both work well with each other in this but sadly as I write this got news today Sidney pass away today what a great actor he was and I hope In Heaven Elizabeth and Sidney meet under the tree as they did in this movie and may he Rest In Peace now.

If you have not see this classic do so it a great movie between 2 great people who become friends in a unknown time that for sure for years to come will always remember this movie being a classic movie.

I give a patch of blue a rating out of 10/10 a 9/10 for classic and great.
