1997 soundtrack a patch of blue [ intrada ] long out of print until its revival by intrada, this score album represents something of the quieter, more contemplative side of goldsmith' s music. composed for a poignant 1965 film about the gentle friendship between a black man (sidney poitier) and a abused blind white girl (elizabeth hartman) and the consequences of that friendship, the score relies heavily on piano, harmonica and flute, with goldsmith' s music having a dark quietude as slow, elegant musical figures underscore the plight of the friends and the darkness of the world around them. a patch of blue is a lovely score that ought to be placed amongst the finest work of a fine career .

elizabeth katayama (1912 – 4 september 1998) was an australian writer under the pseudonym elizabeth kata, best known for be ready with bells and drums (1961), which was made into the award - winning film a patch of blue (1965). she was born of scottish parents in sydney in 1912. after marrying a japanese man named katayama in 1937, she lived for ten years in japan. during the last years of world war ii she was interned at the mountain resort village of karuizawa, nagano. she returned to australia in 1947 with her baby son, battling the australian government for permission. as well as writing novels, she also wrote for television and several hollywood scripts. her first novel, be ready with bells and drums (written in 1959, first published in 1961), was produced as the film a patch of blue (1965). shelley winters playing the role of rose - ann d' arcey won an academy award for best actress in a supporting role. guy green, who directed, also adapted kata' s book and his screenplay was nominated for a writers guild of america award. after the success of the film, the novel was re - released as a patch of blue. the book was for many years included in the

a patch of blue is an excellent book. i really like the story. at first i thought it was going to be a sad story. it turned out to be a love story. it is set in 1960' s when race was a problem, when white and black people did not get along. i did not like the ending because they did not get together .
i admit that i have a certain fondness for sidney poitier ’s 1965 mgm film “a patch of blue. ” one can look at the film today with our jaded, cynical eyes, and say it’s corny, predictable and woefully naïve. but there’s a real core of sincerity at the center of the film; and even though you can look at it as an early example of the “magical negro” film, i think it does go beyond that simple description in a few ways .

@ joe wilson. if you look at my post back on nov. 26th, 2012, the issue of wearing two of the same knot is addressed as there is one time in bsa history it can be done. the excerpt is as follows :
the one time that two of the same knot can be worn is the current (* * * update, this knot is now discontinued * * *) blue / gold knot that represents the cub scouter award (csa). this knot used to be the den leader coach award (dlca) from 1975 - 88. in 1989, a new knot (blue on blue ropes, blue background, blue border... as blue as the webelos dl award is yellow and not pictured on this website) was made for the dlca and the old knot accidentally became the csa. bsa acknowledged their mistake, and scouters who earned the dlca from' 75 -' 88 and the csa from' 89 - 2013 can wear the same knot twice (or could exchange the first one for the' newer' all blue knot) .

the stated goal—that other countries will be obligated to clean up the island under the un’s environmental charter—is, it goes almost without saying, fantastical. in fact, the entire underlying premise of a trash island is perhaps a little less clear - cut than the campaign might suggest—its mention of a france - sized clump of trash appears to refer to a higher - density concentration of large debris at the heart of an even more gargantuan swath of water discovered in 1997 and generally known as the “great pacific garbage patch”—essentially a soup of ocean water and tiny pieces of plastic (or microplastic particles), the span of which is notoriously hard to accurately measure, and difficult to clean up .

quite simply ,
a patch of blue
is probably the best human - interest love story i' ve ever seen. it stars sidney poitier as gordon, a black man who ends up befriending young blind woman selina d' arcy (elizabeth hartman). accidentally deprived of her vision by her prostitute mother rose - ann (oscar - winner for best actress, shelley winters) at the age of five, selina spends her days either home by herself or alone in the park, placing beads on strings for her mother. the day selina meets gordon in the park, it' s a glorious day as he tends to bring selina out of the dark and into the light, showing her many of life' s great pleasures and how to live. of course, selina has no idea that gordon is actually black, though it doesn' t take long for rose - ann to figure out what' s going on with her daughter. writer / director guy green (adapting the novel

by elizabeth kata) preceded the more liberal

a patch of blue
is a beautiful movie about two people who end of up changing each other' s lives for the better, even while trapped in their own dark little worlds. the real standout here is elizabeth hartman as selina, one of the best performances by a young actress, and her oscar nomination was well - deserved. her blindness may shield her from the truth about the man she loves, but it' s what she feels on the inside for him that really matters, and that is what makes her such an appealing young actress here .

this film is sad and effective, touching and indelible. elizabeth hartman is very sympathetic in this role as a blind teenager, growing up in a borderline white - trash home, with an alcoholic grandfather, and promiscuous down - at - heel mother, capably portrayed by shelley winters. sidney poitier delivers another effective performance here, as a sympathetic friend to selena (hartman) who tries to help better her life, even as his brother, a med student tells him to forget it, selena is a hopeless case from
a human trash heap
. the performances are touching and understated as one feels what it may be like to live as a disabled blind woman. hartman is trampled and pushed to the ground simply because street people have no time to help her. the world is a cold place, but poitier offers his friendship and compassion as a small patch of blue in selena' s otherwise dark world. highly recommended. 9 / 10 .

a patch of blue
was perhaps the best film in which elizabeth hartman appeared. in fact, this was the movie in which the young actress made her movie debut. guy green, the director, took quite a chance when he entrusted ms. hartman to play such an important role. unfortunately, her career didn' t do much for her as it appears hollywood forgot her and she was relegated to do television work. in fact, ms. hartman only made six full length movies, when she deserved to have been seen more. the story of
a patch of blue
is about how blind we humans are. yes, selina is blind, but she sees people as they really are. this abused young woman is more intelligent than she is given credit for. she might not have the use of her eyesight, yet she recognizes kindness when it comes her way without making judgment on the only true friend she encounters in her life. gordon, the nice black man who stumbles upon selina in the park, is amazed how no one has ever paid attention to her. clearly, he sees the potential the young woman possesses and he is determined to help her in whatever way he can. selina, on the other hand, couldn' t care less what color gordon is because she has seen beauty in the way he tries to give her the chance in life her own mother didn' t bother to get. rose - ann, the mother is only interested in her own needs. she is a sad woman who is saddled by a daughter that she sees as a burden, yet, she is the one that caused the blindness because of her careless actions. rose - ann is a prejudiced woman who judges gordon too quickly without even investigating how he is trying to help selina. the film will not disappoint. ms. hartman did an excellent contribution to a film despite her inexperience. sidney poitier made a sympathetic gordon real. shelley winters, who won the oscar for this film doesn' t have much to do, and even though she does good work, one has to be leery of those academy members that voted her the best supporting actress of that year when she deserved accolades for many other excellent contributions to films she did before this one .
a patch of blue
owes a great deal to its director, guy green, who fought to make the film and for having elizabeth hartman in it.
