A Patch of Blue (1965)

The notion that love is blind persists in many stories through the ages, notably with the Greek god of love, Eros, who was portrayed as blindfolded in one incarnation. It is the point tenderly made in A Patch of Blue, set against the backdrop of racial tension. Still, it is not a racially-charged story, but a story of love and accepting the sadness of life, and it was one of the most beautiful movies I have seen.
