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.

 

Anna Lucasta
After her bible-thumping and alcoholic father throws her out, Anna Lucasta (Eartha Kitt) turns to sex work to survive. Called back home by the possibility of reconciliation, Anna learns her family wants to arrange for her to marry a well-off man in a scheme to make them rich.
