Rating: 3.5/4 --
For Love of Ivy is a warm and delightful comedy. It isn't exactly a masterpiece, but it is well made and I enjoyed it.

It's an equal opportunity offender: supporting both white and black bourgeois dreams.

Product Description:
A family fears they are going to lose their maid and confidante to the business world. The children decide on matchmaking, and with a little blackmailing, entice secret gambler Poitier to date her. All with difficult results, but a happy ending. This film is notable for its ground-breaking portrayal of a relationship between African American actors. Academy Award Nominations: Best Song ("For Love of Ivy").
