I'm 71 and remember my grandmother doing "day work" for 3 families. Washing, cooking and cleaning. She caught the bus every day and sometimes on Saturday. This movie always hits home with me, more so than Imitation of Life

Oh I love the grandma so much! Such a strong, loving and humble Grandma!

Being a 75 year old black man, I want to know much more about the things that influenced me as a child. TV was a major factor. Watching vintage movies, as this one, I am able to understand now what I could not understand then. The struggles of our great great grand parents in this country were nothing short of an act of courage. In today's time, we need our media to produce and show more movies like this. This is reality. What is produced today is almost entertainment with little value. Thank God for those who preserve the classic movies of old.

I saw this movie when I was a little girl. Didn't know what it was about. Now I'm a senior citizen and I appreciate this work of art very much. 🌹🌹🌹

Easy to see why these three women were nominated for Academy Awards; three excellent performances.

"My name is PINKY" Powerful moment.

I'm a 50ish Black Woman(aka baby boomer) and grew up watching this movie, and knew about racism, but today which is 2/9/13, I really listened and watched this movie and became aware regardless of what race Jean Crain was, she had taked a powerful chance in playing this role. God Bless Her Soul

You go Pinky!!!! I love the fact that Pinky is not ashamed of who she is.

When the lawyers said " the wishes of the dead should not be aside for the greed or prejudice of the living". Yes....👏🏾👏🏾.

Oh my goodness! This movie brought tears to my eyes. A movie of substance, depth and integrity. And in it’s day I would speculate quite controversial.

respect to the judge for doing the right thing.  he is a better man than some of their judges today!

This movie was fantastic.   My maternal grandmother was a Pinky.  She was fair skinned, basically looked white but because of the times,  if you had "one drop" you was black.  I never knew my grandma besides pictures but I can only imagine the hell she went through trying to "pass" and love her blackness.

INCREDIBLE! Todays movies are so inept. Give me a B/W from the 30's & 40's.

This was an unconventional movie in so many ways. Especially for 1949. No tidy little ending with the man rescuing the woman and riding off into the sunset! The final scene gives me chills when I see Pinky look up (almost into the camera) to the sky with such pride and determination! What a beautiful movie.

To think this was made in 1949, can you imagine the powerful statement it made in the public eye!  Extraordinary foresight.  An excellent film for all generations.  Never be ashamed of where the Lord placed you, nor the race you were born into, we all have a purpose and a higher calling.  Amen.

It’s good to know that this movie was made in 1949 with such a positive message that good can win and hatred doesn’t🎯🇺🇸🌊🌊🌊

This was a film ahead of its time. Absolutely extraordinary.

I admire Pinky's decision to stand up and do the right thing, especially during those times.  Miss Em would have been proud of her!

Love this movie 🍿! Dealing with injustice and an unfair system in such a REAL HUMAN way, with self-sacrifice & heart ❤️.  Pinky is a true no nonsense, caring, strong heroine.

What a beauty she was!!! This movie was on spot!! The characters, the actors the scenery! Exactly how you can visualize what it was like!! Wake up America!! Let’s love one another!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
