Negative Positive
Title: A courageous film
Review: "Pinky" has been unfavorably compared to "Imitation of Life" - which results in an unfair conclusion, especially considering the fact that "Pinky" came out in 1949, eight years earlier. The use of Jeanne Crain, as opposed to a light-skinned black woman (who, by the way, would not have been allowed to do the love scenes with the fiance), has also been criticized. However, I found it to be an excellent film, and I applaud the courage of those involved in its making. At the time it was made, such issues were not discussed, and were rarely challenged. Any review must take those obstacles under consideration.
Is the review positive or negative?
