THANK YOU so very, very much for videoing this movie locals. I don’t know how old I was the first time I saw A Patch of Blue (I was a little girl in 1965) but I adored it. The film stayed with me all my life - I became a huge Poitier fan and saw everything he did, film, TV, etc. He was a true professional, very serious about his craft. But APOB remains my favourite with “To Sir With Love” a very close second. Incredibly gifted actor. Miss Hartman played a blind girl so well I didn’t know she wasn’t until my 20’s! Very well done, sir, truly. ❤️🐈 **I am so glad they didn’t decide to ruin it by “colorising” it.
Remember watching this on late night TV with my aunt while my sisters and I were visiting in Southern California and staying with family down there for vacation. I was about nine at the time and this would’ve been 1968 or 1969. She let me stay up late to watch it. I real liked it and it was a movie that I made sure I showed to my daughters when they were kids. They loved it, too. We watched it in an afternoon with To Sir, With Love.
A Patch of Blue is my favorite movie! The Best Years of Our Lives used to be my favorite but Patch of Blue went ahead! Two wonderful old films that I didn't discover until my 40's! This video was interesting! Thanks for doing this!
My Favorite Movie Ever made. I'd watch this movie a million times over ,before even one showing of Gone with the Wind or The Ten Commandments or even the Color Purple. This movie is awesome and has everything in it that any human could expect in having a myriad of emotions. The acting in this movie really sets a very high bar. Sidney and Ms. Hartman are outstanding in A Patch of Blue. This movie is a lesson in trustworthiness, compassion, unconditional love, friendship, ignorant hate, stupid prejudices, bigotry, selfishness, hope, happiness and happy endings. I only wish there had been a sequel.
I was so disappointed though, that the movie ended as it did. I concluded that her lack of sophistication prevented a love affair but hoped that he stayed in her life as a friend.
How a few notes and sounds were so important for catching our emotivity in this movie. I just found this movie less than a year ago, but it seems that it was near me all my life. I think that such a beautiful person as Selena just in heaven can be found...
I love Patch of Blue, one of my top 10 movies of all time. Of course I'm a big fan of both Shelly and Sidney. Love all their movies they are in. Loved both this vlog and yesterday's. Lots of changes from 1965 to 1993. Thanks Jordan!
One of my favorite movies. I didn't know that you did a movie location on this movie, Jordan. It's sad that the park looks so different though. I have loved this movie since I was a preteen and saw it on tv for the first time. Great acting by all. Love Sidney and Elizabeth. It's so sad how she died.
Great video thanks. Love this old film. Love Sidney Poitier and Elizabeth Hartman. Great film. Cool seeing Macarthur Park. The reason you couldn`t match up her tree in the park is because the scene`s in the park were filmed at the MGM Ranch movie lot. They filmed the entrances and surrounding streets of the Macarthur Park but not the scene`s inside the park. Nice job though again thanks.
I have watched the movie and it was so sad. Great performances though. Thank you. Great vlog. Amazing how 50 years can change so much. Lol Jah and Polly Anna are sooooo cute😍. Jah is such a socialite ❤👍
This is a wonderful surprise, I actually have not seen this movie. I looked at the trailer and different clips before watching this and can tell its a classic. Too bad it wasn't highlighted in any of the film history classes I took. I enjoyed and appreciate you matching the shots and locations. I used to drive through that intersection many times and had no idea. Great job showcasing this classic! I will definitely watch the entire film!
I watched this movie when I was a teenager. Somehow this movie lingered at the back of my mind all these years and just by chance I was searching for this movie on UA-cam today and I saw this, which is wonderful. I also just learned that Elizabeth Hartman has passed away a long time ago. This is so sad as she was my idol during my teenager days.
Thanks. I love this movie. It was so heartbreaking. Most folks your age aren't even aware of these films. Shelly was so mean in this one. Appreciate it Jordan!
Hi Jordan, thanks for taking me down memory lane. I grew up about 6 blocks from Westlake Park and remember our neighborhood was abuzz because Sidney Poitier was shooting a movie in the park. I was about 12 or 13 at the time. My friends and I went down there but they kept the crowd well out of the camera's range. Funny, I saw this movie with my mother at the Westlake Theater because she was a fan of Sidney's and Shelley's. By the way, 'Hemmicks' was a diner; kind of a greasy spoon even back in the day. My best friend's sister worked at 'The Outlet' discount store on 7th street. This area use to be much nicer than it is now.
The location does look nicer, better organized, definitely cleaner, and the people better dressed! That's one of the things I really miss from back then, people really taking care of themselves! Anyway, since you lived in LA at the time, was the weather cooler back then? Cause in the film, people wear sweaters and the sky looks cloudless as if they were in Autumn. Thanks for your input! ☘️
@@onlyoneamong300 I don't remember what time of year this was filmed; Maybe in the winter, thus the coats and sweaters. Those people you see are extras and were probably asked to dress that way even if it was summer. L.A. has always had nice weather, but we've always had some hot spells during the summer and that continues to today. We had a Christmas not too long ago when it was 90 degrees. I love L.A.!
@@EagleRockersYes! But the weather has changed everywhere since the 60's! For instance, winters in Ohio, or the Great Lake states for that matter, used to be pretty snowy from October or November till March or April up until early 2000. Now, it snows much later in the year but it won't stay on the ground too long. Back in 2013, 2014 we barely had any snow! That's why it's very likely that weather in LA, being down South, has probably become hotter. That's why I wanted to know if you've noticed the difference after 58 years!
@@onlyoneamong300 What I have noticed is how humid it is in the summer whereas it was a dry heat up until a few years ago. Also, we got an enormous amount of rain this past winter that ended the drought.
Just watched this movie; great acting and sad script. Looking at this great vlog I can certainly say the places looked better back in 1965. Thank you so much for this; I enjoy many of your vlogs; most especially those related to Elvis, my absolute favorite!
Jordan, thank you so much for making this video and posting it. I lived (very briefly) in that same neighborhood, and was surprised to recognize that intersection from A Patch of Blue (one of my all-time favorite films). I hate to rain on your parade, but the park scenes in A Patch of Blue where not actually shot in MacArthur Park. They were shot on studio property.
I saw another movie geek post about this movie and he said it was at MacArthur Park too. If you've seen the movie, the park scenes were shot at the park as evidenced by the background and landmarks. Jordan posted some of the landmarks that remain like parts of the buildings and the park entrance. Somebody else commented below that she lived in near the park in '63 was and it was a big deal at the time.
I will be watching this movie!!! That's a testament to your ability to do creative and interesting vlogs. I can not thank you enough for your work. Great job!!!!
Thank you Jordan..finding your channel put a big Ole smile on my face! You are obviously a real gem! I almost missed out on this masterpiece of cinema. I saw this beautiful movie by accident circa 1995..I was visiting my beloved grandmother in N.C. &. it came on late night. She told me how much she loved it so glanced up unimpressed with some old black & white movie..thought it would be corny. But I wanted to make my Maw Maw happy & keep her company so what the hell, right? 90 mins later I am sobbing with emotion because I knew it was now forever going to be in my top 10 list. Her & I talked about the meaning of love & how special this sweet tale is. My grandmother passed away many years later. I have seen the move over 20 times &.still feel moved like that first night. It is special to me & I have never met another person of my generation that not only has seen it but loved it like you do . I thought I was weird & gave up finding someone cool to chat it up with. Sorry so long & thank you for for sharing this with me! You are a keeper🎥
And i love how you perfectly lay out the plot. Selena is so innocent & I love when she giggles & experiences life. Sidney is so touching..It just works. You get it. I want to punch Shelley Winters!! The look of disdain Gordon has for her is gold. I heard about Elizabeth after she took her life. Sad but she will be forever young &.left us with a beautiful gift. Her portrayal of a fragile spirit will last for eternity . Hope it is discovered by others after I'm gone
Thanks so much for this movie location Vlog. This movie had an huge impact on my life when I was young and started a luv for Sidney Poitier and Shelley Winters movies.
One of my very favorite movies...I love that it was filmed in black and white.....good performances from everyone made it such a compelling movie...great job...👍
Jordan, A patch of blue and Poseidon adventure are my most favorite movies with Shelly. You were so very right to be her friend! You probably both needed each other at that time in both of your lives! Greetings from Illinois! P.S. I think Midwestern people are some of the most wonderful people in the world!
One of my favourite films, great vlog, like the way you put in the original scenes from the film. Interesting to see that most of the buildings are still there after 54 years. So much has changed though, looks like the neighborhood is terribly run down with lots of shabby looking street stalls.
An absolutely beautiful movie! I re-discovered the theme song "Finale" on the French Jazz You Tube channel. That high piano tinkle is recognizable anywhere! Such a lovely, tender viewing experience.
Awesome video! This movie is one of my favs. I've also searched the locations for this and unfortunately the park interiors were shot on the backlot of MGM, so no tree. A location I look for now and then from the film is Sidney P's apartment building. No luck yet. Thank you very much for doing these!
You're saying the scenes by the tree were filmed inside? this is blowing my mind. Now I'm gonna have to watch the movie for the 20th time. I love this movie.
I remember passing this park when I was going to Langer's Deli in LA a few months ago! You're right, slightly sketch part of town...but nice park, nonetheless. Thanks from Wales!
Thank u for sharing your thoughts. I enjoyed that movie very much so.. It's sad to see that area of LA go down hill. I remember visiting that park when i was young. The area was nice and clean.... Now it joins the list of what L.A. has become..
Thanks so much! This was a great vlog. I have seen "APOB" several times and have always admired the great performances of a great cast and a beautiful soundtrack. Even though Shelly won an Oscar she said she always tried to find something good in the characters she played...but she admitted there was NOTHING GOOD about Rose-anne D'Arcy. Even her friend Sadie was horrible. She seemed to be he one to come up with the idea of pimping out poor Selina. If one didn't know better you'd think the film took place in NYC.
I remember watching "A Patch of Blue" when I was a kid. I really didn't get the social implications of the movie until years later when I revisited the movie. While you were in the park, I thought I noticed the restroom in the back ground looked like the same restroom in the movie. The part when Shelly Winters causes a scene and Sidney P hits her. They were around those bushes with the restroom just in the background. It's always a movie worth watching again. Elizabeth did a movie with Clint Eastwood called, "The Beguiled". It's a very good movie too. It's sad she took her own life. She was really very talented but I guess she never discovered for herself how talented she was. I'm new to your volge and enjoy the places you go to and the old Hollywood stars you cover. I love the old B/W films and the stars of that Era, never can get enough of that history.
HI Jordan, just wanted you to know love your videos. My mother and I are going to visit my sister in Malibu. Her 2 son's are actors. So in April I well get to go there. Because of you I am learning the geography, and what I want to do. I thank you so much!! Your new Seattle buddy.
Love your vlog and watch you often. Growing up in West Los Angeles, I remember so many places you vlog. Surprisingly, and after moving from the state in '77, it's amazing how many sites I never knew about. I do have one correction for you. Your vlog on Grease. You never mentioned Venice High School where the exterior was used in the movie. I went to Venice High so recognized the site and also confirmed via Wikipedia. Thanks for helping me bring back so many memories as I'll probably never get back to WALK.

Amazing, Jordan! Thank you for this. One of my very favorite and special movies.
I watched this at the theater they played old movies in the summer.i fell in love with mr Poitier when.i was 8 years old.
Nice job overall, outstanding on comparing the landmarks that helped make this movie great.
A Patch Of Blue is a wonderful movie- love it !
Underated character. Shirley.
Selena best actress nominated
A Patch of Blue is my favorite movie! The Best Years of Our Lives used to be my favorite but Patch of Blue went ahead! Two wonderful old films that I didn't discover until my 40's! This video was interesting! Thanks for doing this!
Wow best years film is hard to beat.... the man with hooks won an Oscar though never acted before.
My Favorite Movie Ever made. I'd watch this movie a million times over ,before even one showing of Gone with the Wind or The Ten Commandments or even the Color Purple.

OMG I have watched this movie for like a hundredth times and I always cry at the end
I very much enjoy that one of my favorite movies
This is one of my favorite movies. Sidney Poitier was absolutely gorgeous.
Great job! Your keeping Hollywood's past alive and remembered!
Just watched that movie a few months ago and I absolutely love it. Was so happy to find this video. Thank you so much for this.

One of my favorite movies of all time- thanks!
RIP Sidney Poitier -1927-2022 , the first black actor to win the best actor Oscar, you will be missed Sidney!
I have watched the movie and it was so sad. Great performances though. Thank you. Great vlog. Amazing how 50 years can change so much. Lol Jah and Polly Anna are sooooo cute😍. Jah is such a socialite ❤👍
Jordan, you are an inspiration to lot of people. please keep it going, you are a great guy!

Too bad it wasn't highlighted in any of the film history classes I took. I enjoyed and appreciate you matching the shots and locations.

I just watched this beautiful nostalgic movie today, thanks for uploading this!
I love when you match places from movies... this is a favorite of mine...it’s a shame that so much has changed... thank you ... I loved it!
I watched this movie when I was a teenager. Somehow this movie lingered at the back of my mind all these years and just by chance I was searching for this movie on UA-cam today and I saw this, which is wonderful. I also just learned that Elizabeth Hartman has passed away a long time ago. This is so sad as she was my idol during my teenager days.
Oh man, I love Shelly Winters. Thank you for doing this.
I remember watching this film years ago, so sad about Elizabeth Heartman.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Thank you so much for this. You did a wonderful job. 🍿♥️
The way you line up the 'then & now' is terrific!
Thanks. I love this movie. It was so heartbreaking. Most folks your age aren't even aware of these films. Shelly was so mean in this one. Appreciate it Jordan!
WOW! I remember this movie! I also saw Elizabeth Hartman in.... Your a Big Boy Now! She was a wonderfull actress! So sad she ended her life so young!
One of my favorite movies. Thanks for the tour Jordan.

One of my favorite movies ever! Good job Jordan!
One of my favorite movies, you’re full of surprises, thank you so much!!!!
I watched this movie forty seven years ago and a couple of times after on the late show, always loved it!!
I saw A patch of Blue in the 70's and just watched it again last week. It is a great movie and I really enjoyed your vlog on it.
Just saw this film & then found this post. Great film, interesting video. Thanks.
I remember this movie well, and it was my first intro to Shelly Winters....
I am always amazed when you take the subway and it's so clean. I love Sidney Poirtier and Shelly Winters. Did not remember Elizabeth Hartman, so sad.
Thank you so much for sharing this work art that I knew nothing about. I plan to look for it in the morning.
Wow! Just discovered this movie and searched for clips on youtube and found this! Amazing the coincidence, as you just posted this today!
I remember this wonderful and brave movie. Thank you so much for presenting it.

I see this was done some time back. It surely skipped over me, since i am a fairly regular follower of yours. Just glad i found it.
Loved this movie! Thank you for this vlog
Good night from Ireland. Enjoying your blog Jordan.
This stuff is fascinating! Love it! All those people that walk through there everyday,not knowing that a great movie was filmed there. A+
I have always loved Shelley Winters and I really liked this movie It was soo good. Thank you for this
I saw this movie twice and really enjoyed it. This was a treat knowing where it was filmed. Thanks Jordan...
Thank-you. That was interesting to see the actual locations of scenes in the movie.
Thanks so much for this movie location Vlog. This movie had an huge impact on my life when I was young and started a luv for Sidney Poitier and Shelley Winters movies.
Very interesting vid. Great work. Thanks!
Yet another movie to go back and watch. Really enjoying the vlogs and excited about being a Patreon. Missy J
Thank you. I saw this movie in a theater. Was happy t o see the real Location.
Sweet, sweet vlog...thank you!
I love that movie!!! Thank you 👍🏽🇲🇽
GOOD MORNING JORDAN AND JAH!!! THANK YOU FOR THE ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO....
One of my very favorite movies...I love that it was filmed in black and white.....good performances from everyone made it such a compelling movie...great job...👍
Great vlog! I missed Jah! Thank you for showing us how much has changed at that park and surrounding area!
Jordan, A patch of blue and Poseidon adventure are my most favorite movies with Shelly. You were so very right to be her friend! You probably both needed each other at that time in both of your lives! Greetings from Illinois! P.S. I think Midwestern people are some of the most wonderful people in the world!
One of your best, thanks. Black and white photography has a certain mystery.
One of my favourite films, great vlog, like the way you put in the original scenes from the film.
Interesting to see that most of the buildings are still there after 54 years.
So much has changed though, looks like the neighborhood is terribly run down with lots of shabby looking street stalls.
One of my favorite movies. Thanks for the vlog.
An absolutely beautiful movie! I re-discovered the theme song "Finale" on the French Jazz You Tube channel. That high piano tinkle is recognizable anywhere! Such a lovely, tender viewing experience.
one of my all time favorites
Great detective work. A favourite film.
I have seen this movie. Loved it!! Thank you for the nostalgia!! 😊
That was fun Jordan Thanks again another great video
Thanks for this OUTSTANDING video. Great movie and yuou have done it justice. Too bad about the tree.
Awesome video! This movie is one of my favs. I've also searched the locations for this and unfortunately the park interiors were shot on the backlot of MGM, so no tree. A location I look for now and then from the film is Sidney P's apartment building. No luck yet. Thank you very much for doing these!
You're saying the scenes by the tree were filmed inside? this is blowing my mind. Now I'm gonna have to watch the movie for the 20th time. I love this movie.
Hi Jordan and Jah, I absolutely love this movie thank you very much,great job.
Thank you!
Jordan such a wonderful vlog! Love when you match it all up. I have never seen this movie but I'm definitely going to now. Thank you 🤗😎❤
Loved this! thank you so much for making this video!
I love this movie! Great vlog!!
One of my favorite movies. Thanks for dusting the cobwebs out.of my brain to remember this movie. Thanks for the memories.
I remember passing this park when I was going to Langer's Deli in LA a few months ago! You're right, slightly sketch part of town...but nice park, nonetheless. Thanks from Wales!
When I was in school we read the book I love the movie
Such a good movie.thank goodness times have changed !
Thank u for sharing your thoughts. I enjoyed that movie very much so.. It's sad to see that area of LA go down hill. I remember visiting that park when i was young. The area was nice and clean.... Now it joins the list of what L.A. has become..
This movie touched me even as a young girl.
I've never seen this movie before, now have something to watch. Amazed how that whole area changed, most of the window signs are now spanish.
Than you Jordan, I never knew this movie was filmed in LA
Thanks so much! This was a great vlog. I have seen "APOB" several times and have always admired the great performances of a great cast and a beautiful soundtrack. Even though Shelly won an Oscar she said she always tried to find something good in the characters she played...but she admitted there was NOTHING GOOD about Rose-anne D'Arcy.

HI Jordan, just wanted you to know love your videos. My mother and I are going to visit my sister in Malibu. Her 2 son's are actors. So in April I well get to go there. Because of you I am learning the geography, and what I want to do. I thank you so much!! Your new Seattle buddy.
Hi Seattle. 👋
Really good research. Great vlog.😊
I've never seen this film and I don't think I've heard of it. I'll have to watch it.
That was really interesting Jordan. Thank you
