Zanuck"; about a light-skinned black African American girl who passes for white, and the complications that ensue; 20th Century Fox massively diluted the power of the story by casting a white actress in the lead role, and they were obviously scared of the subject matter, for the posters only make reference to it in an oblique way) starring Jeanne Crain (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Patricia "Pinky" Johnson), Ethel Barrymore (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Ethel Waters (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), William Lundigan, Griff Barnett, and Frederick O'Neal (in his debut role).

Artist: Josep Soligo Important Added Info: Note that this Spanish program has a striking (and unusual) image with a diagonal line running down the center of Jeanne Crain's face, obviously intending to convey the idea that she is trapped halfway between the "white" world and the "black" world. Also note that when Spanish heralds have printing on the back, we picture both sides, but when they are blank on the back, we only picture the front. Condition: good to very good.
