Pinky still watching 2025
Wow Amen THIS TIMELY movie is a unknowing experience' amidst lives.I Give OUR LORD And SAVIOR The Glory Amidst His Mighty Powerful And Authorized NAME. Amen 🙏, God Bless EACH Individually Daily Amen 🙏💖
I'm 65 in 2025. Grew up on the West Coast. When I thought I saw all or most of black films, after seeing these now, I quickly learned I have never seen any of these movies. Makes me wonder why they weren't shown.
I’m six minutes into this film and the heartbreak is overwhelming.
I’m 67 and this is a excellent depiction of the way things we’re back then. Especially down south. It was brave of them to make such a film during this time. Sad to see that any type of racism exists today. Excellent film, wonderful actors and actresses.
Pinky, Was smart woman, Love rarely worked out, and always ends in misery.. She chose to be a spinster good choice.
I sure wish i had some chickens for my yard to listen every morning.
This is one of the best movies ever made, and 40:53 is one of the best scenes in film.
Oh, that woman that played Granny - deserved an Oscar!! Love her!
Filme Lindo, Amei ❤
Just discovered this movie. I also have many BI-Racial family. I'm indigenous Native Peoples with Irish blood.
If this film were really innovative, it would have cast one of the black actors in the lead role. But then it would have lost the Southern audience.
This film was typical of Hollywood. There were black actresses that could have played this role.
I actually thought it was necessary for a white actress to play the role. Especially for the White audience of the time to really sympathize with her and understand that color didn’t matter at all. It didn’t then and it doesn’t now. And I liked seeing the two actresses, Crain and Waters, as granddaughter and grandmother anyway. I love the two of them as talent so to see them as family in an unlikely film brings joy to my heart.
@Everettescottortiz. Per the racism of this vountry, at that time, it was necessary. Hollywood was/is concerned with the bottom line, money. The Southern states would have boycotted if they used Nina Mae McKinney or Freddy Washington.
@@lindajewell947 well and it wouldn’t have been as big of a draw at the box office. Maybe later on but not at the time that they needed it to be. Jeanne Craine was already a bankable star. So she definitely helped make sure the movie was a success and that the message got out. She was very brave and I admire that about her. I remembered being nine years old and watching the movie and thinking how brave she was to take on such part like this. She said she loved it.
The movie is so noisy that I can no longer watch it! I have seen it in the past ! A good story !
Today was the first day that I realized Jeanne Crain starred in Margie AND this movie Pinki! I love them both ❤
If she wrote it she was sane. It be the ppl that are well off that have the most greed smh
This was one of the best films on my list of favorite old movies. It’s sad to me that prejudice is still happening in our society. God made man equal. God does not look at the color of one’s skin. After all we all bleed red. We must look at all races with love and compassion. God bless you dearly.
Pinky was very special and amazing
Pinky was very special being biracial. I had a real light skinned great grandma.
Doesn’t she look like Paulette Goddard in many scenes. This movie is magnificent.
amazing they didnt have a lot of bugs in there with no screens-ugh
The original karens........ mad a black person is ahead of them in line lol.
Its crazy they could make a movie back then like this and people try to deny our history / have the nerve to still be racist. They knew we were raped,beaten anytime.
Jeanne Craine - the original Kamala 😂❤
The Loyalty to the plantation Mistress Wow..still today plantation mentality the colonizers really did a job...ijs Agendas Matters literally...
marabilloso...
The sas truth is as old as this movie is..some things never change..might as well been yesturday !!! 😢😢
It's amazing he never thought about the children, how do you run away from them???
Crain far too pale to play this role - almost albino ! Ava Gardner would have been a better choice .
After many years, I just re-watched this powerful movie. It still hits hard at ingrained racial prejudice, which sadly still exists in the hearts of many. The battle to overcome it continues.
Being from the UK it is difficult to understand the US prejudice that continued in the US, well into the 20th Century and still goes on today. It is so wrong on so many levels.
The UK can not point any fingers
Um filme maravilhoso ❤❤❤ obrigada
I saw Pinky with my parents in Philly. It did not play in the South.
Thank you.
What a terrific ending. Wonderful movie.
I appreciate having historical examples of passing to redirect racism away from my brown skin (bred from the five civilized tribes & other natives indigenous to turtle Island).... It's exhausting listening to fools try to convince me that black is a phenotype 😂🪑🎻🥱
I'm 62 year old Black woman and I am really surprised that a movie like this was made in 1949.
Ain't it crazy I'm 34
I saw this when I was nine in 1999. My grandpa showed me on TV and even I was surprised that a film was made like this back in the 40s. It made me really happy to see such a story. Plus when you’re a kid, you don’t realize that white children can come from black or much darker parents and Vice versa. Aside from the racial disparity of the story, I loved seeing that someone like Crain could have a grandma like Waters. I still love it to this day.
One more comment, I actually had a cousin named Pinkie. She was very fair with blue eyes. She lived into her 90s.
Ethel Waters, who played the grandmother is from my hometown of Chester, PA and has a park named after her there.
Years ago, when I was a newspaper reporter I wrote a story about “passing”. I interviewed several people and did a lot of research for it. One of my subjects was a gentleman that you could’ve looked at all day and never knew he was Black. However, he never tried to pass. I first met him at a social event and he mentioned that he had integrated a school or something. I thought to myself how did he integrate anything. Then it hit me, though I never mentioned to him what I was thinking. Later, I knew he’d be a good subject for my story. He said he was more proud of his grandmother’s manumission papers than any of the European blood he obviously had. He would make a point of letting folks know he was Black because he didn’t want to hear the racist comments folks would make because they assumed he was White. He was a Tuskegee Airman and involved in Civil Rights. On another note, regarding casting, I love Ms Horne and Ms Dandridge but I don’t think either could’ve totally passed for White. There are other Black actresses that could have, though.
We technically don't know what they allowed to pass. In the black movies they definitely only casted light bright damn near WHITE/ Spanish looking black women. They did not cast caramel brown,brown or dark brown. So light brights may have been able to pass
Freddie Washington could have worked in the role.
wonderful movie. jeanne Crain delivered a strong and memorable performance. She was nominated for academy award but oscar eluded her
Beautiful movie
Fantastic movie
GREAT MOVIE..........IN THOSE HARDSHIP LIVES, OF AFRICAN PEOPLE...........ALWAYS A GOOD OLD WHITE AMERICANS TO HELP OUT....... PLEASE, BE VERY PROUD OF YOUR HARD FIGHTS, AT THE END WE ALL ARE AMERICANS, ENJOY OUR PRINCIPLES.........THE FREEDOM, UNCORRUPTION AND UNITED. HAPPY, HAPPY JULY 4 TH. TO EVERY AMERICANS.
Incredible movie for this ruined Generation.
