Intermarried? This word should not even exist in this context. Is a blue eye woman marrying a brown eye man, an intermarried couple? It would never even occurred to me to call you as intermarried couple. You're just a married couple, just like if one of you were French. It's shocking that people can't see it as such. Orangutans share 97% of their DNA with us, and here we can make a division.❤

She was still overtly rude to me, to the point of not speaking to me, but speaking to her son (in front of me) about me.

I know what you meant but I have to take offense to the sentence "...a clever little film, a pleasure to watch a sophisticated story about race, not at all obvious or shallow...". Here are some thoughts. 1. Considering that exactly such a murder may have actually taken place, there is nothing so clever about the writing of this film as it is only recounting historical facts, 2. You are right, race and the social/ familial instruction to abhor anything black, or the pc reference "colored", is a "sophisticated" social construct, but of whites and as a matter of fact racism too then is a social construct of whites. Racism is a white man's disease that has sadly permeated into other ethnicities and cultures. Blacks who do not want to marry whites is a natural social reaction to racism by elitist blacks. However never is the killing of another human being sophisticated. Here we saw the downfall of two young individuals, one born black who abandoned their own ethnicity to marry white because they superficially thought that doing so would elevate their social status and the other born white who mistakenly thought...why the exact opposite that marrying a colored person would demean the social standing of the family. The former paid dearly with their life and that of an unborn. I feel most sorry for the two young children in the movie. I cannot imagine these two young children growing into adulthood to perpetuate this terrible, terrible social construct.

A wonderful historical piece of 50's cinema. Thank you.

This gripping movie won a few major international awards including the BAFTA for best British film. It was up against Ben-Hur in a lot of categories. It's superbly written, acted and filmed by a great, under-rated (today) director and it includes a host of very well known actors in uncredited roles from Peter Vaughan to Fenella Fielding to Rupert Davies to Susan Stranks (off Magpie) and John Richardson who went on to play opposite Raquel Welch in 1 million years BC and Barbra Streisand in On a Clear Day. It deals with racial prejudice head on in away that will probably surprise younger people and you'd just never see today. I love the art direction, almost every interior is painted grey with grey furniture and fittings, either a wonderful creative concept or possibly there was a job lot on that shade at the paint shop!

@@1956soulmate If it weren't for immigration, British cooking would still be a very good reason for leaving Britain.

The casual savagery of the racism is breathtaking. From the racist dialogue from some of the players to characterization of the Black roles. The phrase, “ the banality of evil “ springs to mind. After reading several of the comments I find the acceptance of, perhaps blindness to the savagery fatiguing. It seems, many times that unless you experience racism and or have loved ones, close friends, in your life that can tell you their encounters with it, you won’t really have even a close idea of how it tears at one’s spirit. Unless you have someone in your life whose happiness and pain you feel, you won’t really know or REALLY care about their pain or joy. If we actually want to end prejudice we must get these people, who don’t look like us, into our lives and or children’s lives.

What a great script and direction. think they touched on a lot of issues and thoughts that unfortunately are being dealt with in 2020.

Racism is a thought process that exists in peoples minds, discrimination is an outward expression of that racism. Search Thomas sowell. He is probably the most educated speaker I've heard on the topic and on many other topics.

I saw this film in the cinema when I was a teenager in 1962. It was much better than the primary feature in a double feature show. I was very impressed by the film and surprised it played in Norfolk, Va.

I give Sapphire a ten on a scale from one to ten. Great movie. It has a terrific immitation of ethnic conflicts as well as coherences.

A very enjoyable film. The post-war London scenes are fascinating. The race issues were portrayed true to the times however jarring they seem today but all in all an easy film to watch whodunnit with a stellar performance by Nigel Patrick who could pass for Richard Burtons brother

What a terrific movie!! Like other folks commenting, I have never heard of it-- but this was just brilliant, and kept me guessing 'til the end! Thank you for sharing it!

Rather decent thriller but much more than that, as a bold exposition of racial attitudes, in 1959. Thanks for putting it here.

A "Bold exposition of racial attitudes," you say. I say a bold propagation of intolerable so-called black stereotypes. While I enjoyed the Bernard Hermann-ish score I could've done without the filmmakers allowing themselves to be ambushed by fear, ego and pride with the aforementioned so-called black stereotypes.

Nigel Patrick - remember him from playing the awkward 3rd party in "The Browning Version"? Great to see him again in this great little mystery.

Great film. Proper hats, proper police Wolseley's with proper ringing bells & some heroic pipe smoking. Written by Janet Green who also wrote the screenplay for the 1961 film Victim tacking another challenging social issue at the time, homosexuality when still illegal & blackmail.
