This deeply moving drama features three indelible Oscar®-nominated performances from Jeanne Crain, Ethel Barrymore and Ethel Waters. Pinky, a young nurse (Jeanne Crain), returns to her small southern hometown, but the trip is bittersweet one: Educated in the North, Pinky is engaged to a doctor who doesn't know that she is part black. Her grandmother (Ethel Waters) is a proud black woman who is less than happy to learn that Pinky's fiancé is white. Then, Pinky's friendship with a southern aristocrat, Miss Em (Ethel Barrymore), is cause for more scandal - and a lawsuit - when she dies and leaves her house to Pinky. Shunned by both blacks and whites, Pinky's choices make her the unfortunate target of bigotry in this compelling classic.
