Plot [edit]
The story concerns the difficulties faced by an interracial marriage between an African-American office worker and a white divorcee. The climax of the film is a highly emotional courtroom custody case in which the woman's angry ex-husband demands custody of their daughter, charging that the child's welfare is threatened by the environment created by her marriage to a black man.
Additional information [edit]
It was shot in its entirety in and around the small northeastern Ohio city of Painesville.[1]
For her role as Julie Cullen Richards, Barrie won the Best Actress award at the 1964 Cannes Film Festival.[2]
The screenplay, written by Orville H. Hampton and Raphael Hayes, was also nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the 1964 Academy Awards, losing to eventual winners S. H. Barnett, Peter Stone and Frank Tarloffo for Father Goose.
