A Patch of Blue (1965)
Good Movie
This is a very good movie. "A Patch of Blue" with Sidney Poitier,1965. I usually can't get into tearjerkers but this one was really good. Poitier befriends then falls in love with a neglected and abused blind girl. His being black complicates matters. Poitier is great in an (for him) understated role. Black & white photography actually adds to the feeling. Try & catch this.
The Greatest Show on Earth (1952)
Best Picture? Really?
Watched "Greatest Show on Earth" 1952 w/Charlton Heston, Betty Hutton & Cornel Wilde. It won Best Picture Oscar in 1952 somehow beating out "High Noon" Don't waste your time! How this flick won best picture is beyond me. Over 1/2 of the movie is filled with filmed Ringling circus acts (though in rich Tecnhicolor!). The weak story is 2nd rate soap opera.
Defiance (2008)
Decent
"Defiance" starred Danial Craig of 007 fame. I give it 7/10 . It's worth a rental, although it is too long at 2 hrs. & 17 mins. It's the true story of Jews seeking refuge from the Nazis in the forests of Russia. I think I like Danial Craig better in this type of movie rather than his James Bond outings.
