A Patch of Blue (1965)

(Deep Dive begins at 28:45)

It's wonderful to have a friend. It might just be our favourite word in the world. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, and Ethan on a BOYS NIGHT (Georgia and Megs are opening up a business across town) as we tackle Lina Oberholzer's winning entry into our Patreon Lottery, the Sidney Poitier film, A Patch of Blue.

• Ian serenades Ensign Ian across the miles
• Liam tries to turn it into a Elizabeth Taylor episode
• We discuss the sense in shooting POV flashbacks when the protagonist is blind and never would have seen it
• We learn that marketing sounds cool but was quite pedestrian in the 1960s
• We might have a frontrunner for a Restie on set design
• We discuss school bus seatbelt legislation (it's more interesting than it reads)
• Whether or not A Patch of Blue is the Best Film Ever
