For Love of Ivy
With a story concocted by the film’s leading man Sidney Poitier, “For Love of Ivy” centers on the titular character (Abbey Lincoln), hoping to give up her role as a white family’s domestic and begin anew in a city. “Ivy” combines the lightness of a ‘will she, won’t she’ sex comedy with the sensitivies of a civil rights era drama.
