      For Abbey Lincoln, yes, this was only her second film, outside of her already established music career, but for Sidney, he was nearly a 20-year vet at this point, though this was his first film he was ever wrote as his own original screenplay/story, which was big thing for a Black Hollywood actor.

      At this point, Sidney was the uncontested box office king, since this movie came right after back-to-back hits with ‘In the Heat of the Night’ and ‘Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner’ that came out in ’67. What I love about ‘For Love of Ivy’ is that it is the first time you had a love scene between two Black leads in a major film, which may seem so normal today, but was a big deal in ’68.
