Big deal. Anyway, "For Love of Ivy" is a delightful movie, as I began by saying. Miss Lincoln is charming; her smile illuminates the screen. Beau Bridges, as the hippie kid who plays matchmaker, has a canny sense of comic timing, and was an audience favorite. "Ivy" is a movie you can enjoy-and for that I think we should thank Poitier.

Jun 19, 2006 · The release of For Love of Ivy in 1968 presented a first in mainstream American cinema: a mature romance between two black lead characters. The story itself, that of a blackmailed man who woos his target under false pretenses only to actually find true love after all, was not original, but star and story writer Sidney Poitier wanted to add a new twist to a proven formula.
When she tells them she wants to go back to school and will be leaving soon, the 20ish year old son decides what she needs is a change and begins searching for a man to wine and dine her, but who won't marry her, thinking that this will distract her from her plans. The man he finds doesn't entirely cooperate.
