I'm assuming that everyone watching already knows the Elizabeth Hartman story, but it is still heartbreaking every time I think about it. 😢

"That's because they don't know you."

THERE IS PLENTY OF TIME FOR A SMOOCH IN THIS SCENE. They could have at least given us one kiss before she gets on the school bus.

The "there are different types of love" speech. 😢

I need to know where Rose-Ann went to get a bath, because there's no bathtub behind that wall. Just the washtub for the laundry and the kitchen sink.

On a lighter note, to 60s kids she’ll always be “Ma Parker” – her villainess role on the old Batman TV show. 😂

Winters is so evil in #APatchOfBlue, but it's worth noting that her attitudes reflected those of many. And still do, unfortunately.

Selina is venting her anger (kind of like me these past few months).

In 1967 (The year after #APatchOfBlue), Ms. Hartman did a starring turn in Francis Ford Coppola's "You're a Big Boy Now" (a kind of "The Graduate" story) in which she plays a Tempress. And to this day anytime I go to the NYPL/42nd st. I half-expect to see her bolting through the doors.

This trip to the supermarket (and Selina's discovery of some of the simple pleasures in life) is always heartwarming.
"... and in aisle 6 you and your mistress can plan to kill her husband in perfect peace and quiet!" 😂

“Thank you for my lovely day Gordon.”

"A smaller film that could", Shelley Winters was nominated (and won) an Oscar as Best Supporting Actress, while Elizabeth Hartman was nominated for Best Actress in a leading role. #APatchOfBlue was also nominated for best art direction (B&W) and cinematography (B&W) and music score.

While Shelley Winters and Sidney Poitier are the stars of #APatchOfBlue, the performance by Elizabeth Hartman is off-the charts great (IMO). And knowing how her life went, makes this film a melancholy experience for me. So much talent.😢
#TCMParty

In addition to Sidney Poitier, the cast for #APatchOfBlue contains a couple of familiar names to recent TCM watchers in Shelley Winters (“Lolita”) and Wallace Ford (“The Breaking Point”).

... and right off the bat #APatchOfBlue starts off with a lovely theme by the legendary Jerry Goldsmith.
