Summary:

Blind Selina D'Arcy (Elizabeth Hartman) lives a life of servitude with her mother, Rose-Ann D'Arcy (Shelley Winters), who's a prostitute, and grandfather who's an alcoholic, until the day she goes to the park to string beads for extra cash. There she meets the first kind person she has ever known, Gordon Ralfe (Sidney Poitier). The two quickly develop a deep bond, but Rose-Ann--who can see only bad in any man--tries to separate her daughter from the African American Gordon, believing that a life of prostitution would be better for Selina than happiness with a Black man.Based on the novel "Be Ready with Bells and Drums" by Elizabeth Kata.
