		When Pinky was a child, Granny saved every penny she could and sent Pinky up north to go to school and escape the harsh life of segregated Alabama.
		Pinky is so light-skinned, though, that she begins to "pass" as white; when she returns to Alabama, she has a white fiancÃ© and has been living as a white nurse.
		Pinky is shocked by her return to the South and suddenly being treated as a second-class citizen again.

		I presume that this casting was mandated because there were love scenes between Pinky and her fiance, Dr. Adams, and this type of scene would have been forbidden in those days, if the actress cast for the part of Pinky were other than white.
		So, a white woman (as Pinky is taken for on appearance) is pressingly offered two white males' unsolicited patronage to exit the territory she is not supposed to walk about alone, in the Negro neighbourhood, for fear of molestation by the fls.
		But when Pinky says she is in her very neighbourhood, there immediately arises the threat and violence of molestation by the white "protectors"-- the end concept being that woman is the Negro of the world, in any case...

		Finance was from a number of sources, the largest of which being an Iranian company based in Paris and run by the brother-in-law of the Shah of Iran.
		The film is apparently the story of the efforts of a film director (played by John Huston) to complete his last Hollywood movie and is largely set at a lavish party.
		Orson Welles' distinctive voice was used in Warner Brothers animated cartoon "Pinky and The Brain", with Maurice LaMarche providing the voice of The Brain with a dead-on impersonation of Welles.

		Pinky had to work hard serving tables, etc. to earn enough to put herself through school, and then go on to win scholarships to become a graduate nurse.
		Pinky refused, saying she wouldn't deny who she was anymore.
		In this, Pinky is embracing who she is; she's proud of her heritage and her granny, proclaiming to the world who she is. What she does with the estate she inherited comes as no big plot surprise, but it does work well as an affirmation of her new resolve.

	dOc DVD Review: 3 Women (1977)
		But it's not really a movie about its story; much of it has a dreamy, almost hallucinogenic feel, and Altman is clearly more interested in moments and moods than he is in conventional structure.
		Pinky and Millie are a pair of odd and memorable characters, and your reactions to them will probably be caught up in your iconic consideration of the actresses in the roles.
		There are times, certainly, when Altman's concern about other things results in the movie not making a whole lot of narrative sense; and there are many moments that would probably have a great deal more clarity and resonance and import if the bong had just come around the circle back to you.

		Plot Summary: Pinky, a light skinned fl woman, returns to her grandmother's house in the South after graduating from a Northern nursing school...
		Trivia: Lena Horne initially campaigned to play the title role in this movie (she is light enough to photograph "white"), but in the end, the movie studio felt white American audiences would feel more comfortable with a white actress, especially since love scenes with a white actor were involved.
		The movie is an important one - and I'd like to think that the reason goes beyond the juxtapositioning of America's treatment of fls in the Forties with today's suffocating PC standards.

		Crain plays the eponymous Pinky (a term used in the fl community to described those whose complexions are light enough that they can pass for white), a bright young woman who has been studying nursing at a school in New England.
		Zanuck initially asked John Ford to direct PINKY, but he was reportedly relieved, nevertheless, when Ford (who didn't get along with actress Waters and felt little enthusiasm for the story) asked to be taken off the picture two weeks into shooting, since Zanuck had misgivings about Ford's ability to create credible fl characters.
		Today, PINKY is still remarkable for its sincerity and directness, especially when one considers its date of origin.

		Crain, who specialized in light comedies in the 1940s and whose career was capped by her starring role in the controversial Elia Kazan classic "Pinky," died Sunday, according to the AP.
		"Pinky" brought Crain's only Academy acknowledgment, a nomination for best actress in 1949.
		It was a brave film at a time when Hollywood avoided racial controversy, about a girl who passes for white in the North but faces the bitter hatred of whites after returning to her grandmother's home in the Deep South.

	dOc DVD Review: The Snake Pit (1948)
		Pinky (1949) dealt with a young fl woman "passing" for white, while Gentlemen's Agreement nabbed the Best Picture Oscar in 1947 for its depiction of insidious anti-Semitism in New York City society.
		Alfred Newman's melodramatic score, the charmingly batty interpretations of disturbed women, the simplistic (by today's standards) explanation of Virginia's problems, and the hospital's primitive, almost barbaric conditions anchor the movie in the 1940s.
		By exposing such horrendous problems, socially conscious movies like The Snake Pit effected change, and their far-reaching influence can't be underestimated.

		By now, Lena had signed with MGM, but unfortunately, for her, the movies were filmed so that her scenes could be cut out when they were shown in the South.

		The court battle over Pinky's inheritance of the remains of dowager Miss Em's plantation becomes a testament to color-blind justice.
		Despite the film's boldness in subject matter, 20th Century-Fox hedged its bets by casting a white actress in the lead, attesting to the feared limits of acceptance for an anti-racism drama.
		Still, though it was not quite as well-received as Kazan's similarly-minded anti-Semitism film Gentleman's Agreement (1947), Pinky was a success, garnering Oscar nominations for Crain, Waters and the inimitable Ethel Barrymore as the gruffly wise Miss Em.
