Shelley Winters deservedly won a Oscar for her brilliant portrayal of a racist prostitute whose blind, 18-year-old daughter (Elizabeth Hartman) falls in love with a young black man (Sidney Poitier). It's a moving story that neatly avoids melodrama. Hartman was also nominated for an Academy Award, but Poitier, who probably never gave a bad performance in his entire career, was slighted.
