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.

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 😂❤

Princess Fords

The Loyalty to the plantation Mistress Wow..still today plantation mentality the colonizers really did a job...ijs Agendas Matters literally...

Una River

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.

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.

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.

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.

Black people are as much entitled to become Professional Nurses as much as any White person

Well done, Pinky

excuse me "your race',

Shame on White people
