All that I can remember is that I was walking in my parent’s yard during the day, and on the side of the yard between the sheds and the house was an outdoor gathering of military officers and some politicians and a female president with light-color skin who was possibly The President Of The United States who was probably based on the character President Elizabeth Keane from the television show Homeland and some special forces-like soldiers (fully armored with carbines) who seemed to be handling security.
The president was giving a speech and then answered questions that the military officers and politicians et cetera had (I remember some of them making negative facial expressions), and at some point she started walking away to leave the yard through the main double gates.
In this film, a traveling laborer meets five nuns in the Arizona desert.
The appearance of Homer Smith convinces the Mother Superior he is an answer to her prayers.
He wins the hearts of the nuns and the thanks of the town, as initial reluctance turns into public acceptance.
Final Thoughts
This movie was okay, it was family friendly, it was better than the trailer, but it was not better than the movie A Patch Of Blue and it was longer than it should have been in my opinion.
A Patch of Blue (1965) Official Trailer – Sidney Poitier Movie
2. What’s it about?
A kind blind uneducated abused lower class woman named Selina D’Arcey who lives in an abusive living situation with her mother and grandfather, who one day meets a man named Gordon Ralfe in the park and the two of them form a relationship as Gordon Rafle tries to help her, and the film also covers other topics like racism and race and disabilities and abuse et cetera.
Accidentally blinded by her prostitute mother Rose-Ann (Oscar winner Shelley Winters) at the age of five, Selena D’Arcy spends the next 13 years confined in the tiny Los Angeles apartment that they share with “Ole Pa” (Wallace Ford), Selena’s grandfather.
One afternoon at the local park, Selena meets Gordon Ralfe (Sidney Poitier), a thoughtful young office worker whose kind-hearted treatment of her results in her falling in love with him, unaware that he is black.
They continue to meet in the park every afternoon, and he teaches her how to get along in the city.
But when the cruel, domineering Rose-Ann learns of their relationship, she forbids her to have anything more to do with him because of his race.
Selena continues to meet Gordon despite Rose-Ann’s fury, who is determined to end the relationship for good.
