From All Movie Guide: Fresh from Broadway, Elizabeth Hartman made a stunningly brilliant screen debut as the blind, embittered young heroine of A Patch of Blue (1965). This maiden movie effort won Hartman an Oscar nomination -- and at the same time typed her in high-strung, sensitive roles. She continued impressing the critics with choice assignments in The Group (1966) and You're a Big Boy Now (1968), but by 1971 her once-promising career was in the doldrums. There was a chance for a comeback in the box-office smash Walking Tall (1973), but Hartman's character, the wife of sheriff Buford Pusser (Joe Don Baker), was little more than a plot gimmick; she is killed off before the film is two-thirds over, prompting Pusser's final, violent vengeance spree. Hartman ... provided a voice for the Don Bluth cartoon feature The Secret of Nimh (1982), Elizabeth Hartman was killed in a fall from her apartment window in 1987. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Elizabeth Hartman gives the standout performance. Audrey Hepburn was praised for her work in Wait Until Dark, but blindness is just a plot device, and the gimmick performance is merely a prop to propel the mediocrity. Not only is it totally believable Hartman is blind, her work goes well beyond blank stares. Her body language is excellent, and she depicts the ups and downs of being a lonely person dependent on someone else so well. The film doesn’t make the mistake of being about her transformation like almost every other. She gains skills, but remains very fragile and vulnerable to the end.
