Pinky Is Very Gritty For Its Time

Elia Kazan's movie about a black girl named pinky who passes for white is incredibly intriguing. Rejected by both whites and blacks in a small southern town, she has fallen in love with a white man who has no idea about her true race. It would be nice if color didn't matter, but in a time and place where this is a very real issue, Elia Kazan tackles it head-on.
