Summary: Timeless
Review: I first heard this soundtrack while in hight school & it was then an album. The grooves wore out & for many years the music remained out of print. Incredible film & for it's day and brilliant soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith.

Summary: A must-see film!
Review: I first saw this film in junior high school when it aired on a public tv station. I only saw bits and pieces; but, even then I was captured by this moving film. I started checking the monthly tv guide to see when it would re-air over the years. From the opening scene with Selena threading the beads to closing scene, I was enthralled. The characters were very powerful. Shelley Winters earned that Oscar. Jerry Goldsmith's soundtrack/score is haunting. I bought the CD for that as well. The use of the harmonica and the piano was beautiful. It is also the first movie that I can recall that included an interracial kiss. This movie was released before GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER. I think that you will enjoy it!

Summary: A TOUCHING AND HEARTFELT MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I just recently viewed this film for the very first time. I really enjoyed the acting from all involved. The story was very tender and warm-hearted and it was a very touching movie.
If you haven't seen this movie, please do!!! It makes us realize that everyone is important- no matter the color, the race or even what disability another person may have.
THIS IS A VERY TOUCHING AND HEARTFELT MASTERPIECE!!!!

Summary: A Patch of Blue
Review: I must say, A Patch of Blue is one of my favorite movies because it addressed so many social issues that are prevalent today. Although A Patch of Blue was made during the civil rights movement, the message behind the movie is timeless: 1.Contrary to popular belief, Black is beautiful. 2.Regardless of one's skin color, people should be judged by the content of their character. So, If you are looking for a heartwarming but thought provoking movie, then you should buy A Patch of Blue.

Summary: Magnificent!!
Review: I only saw this film a few weeks ago, and I still get teary-eyed just thinking about it. It's a movie that could never have been pulled off today and still evoke such depth of emotion. I felt every ounce of Selena's neglect, fear, bewilderment at the wider world, frustration with her very real captivity, and love for the only person that really loved her back. From the very first utterance of "S'Lena," I could not help but get choked up for a girl who had never heard own name said but through a drunken slur. I only wish I knew what became of Selena and Gordon. And I think it's a testament to the power of A PATCH OF BLUE that I even care. This is a 5-star PLUS movie. Now I'm off to buy the book...

Summary: aways my favourite movie
Review: I read with sadness other comments that this movie is outdated............oh really...surprise surprise....it was made in the 60's I think. This movie above any I have seen since, speaks so clearly of sensitivity, gentle compassion and passionate love. The self-sacrificing love that we know so little about these days... DARE I SAY IT? is this what TRUE LOVE IS.....TO LOVE AND THEN LET GO for the LIFE of the other...... Gordon loved so tenderly and Serina became aware so gently that she was lovable..AND loved........ How is it possible that one could miss this view of the film is beyond me......... I have been "in-love" with Sidney ever since .... he has such skill as an actor and has broadened my horizons so immensely with his portrayal of Gordon Thank GOD for this medium which gives me an opportunity to say to SIDNEY FANS what I have wanted to say to him for 35 years....
"THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME .....esp. in this film" one very devouted fan from MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA

Summary: Why remake it?????
Review: I really like this movie, it touched on an issue that for it's day was very controversial. Why in the world should this film be re-made if the first one was worth 5 stars????? I have found recently that re-makes of great old pictures are simply awful. What is the point, when video makes it possible to have all these wonderful old classics available for viewing any time?

Summary: completely destroys the book
Review: I've read the novel version of this story several times, and love it. The movie, when Ii first watched it, was touching, but there was something missing. On the second viewing, I realized what this film lacks is a convincing ending, the thing that makes the book so believable and heartbreaking. The shattering, tearful cliff-hanger of the novel was replaced by a simply, almost predictable, feel-good ending that makes the film flop miserably for someone who knows the original intent of the author. Also, the many scenes which were thought up by the film-makers, while convincing and poignant in their own way, don't compare with the warm, yet darkly sinister, tone of the book. I love the music though. And one question: is that Elizabeth Heartman's real voice?

Summary: Sleena, SLEEEENA!!!!!!
Review: If you are looking for a movie to reaffirm the meaning of "love," "hope," and all around "innocence," you have found it! This is one of the best films you will undoubtedly see in your lifetime. I read the book when I was 11 years old and didn't see the movie until I was roughly 16. Let me tell you, this is one movie that does the book justice! Disabilities, alcoholism, racism, abuse and neglect. This movie has it all! It touches on some very intense issues that our society was and STILL IS dealing with today. Definitely a movie for the entire family. Take my advice, watch it! (repeatedly) (smile)
