Sidney Poitier & Abbey Lincoln Spark Romance in For Love of Ivy

Love is in the air at BlackTree TV’s Saturday Movie Showcase as we celebrate Valentine’s Day with the stylish, romantic classic For Love of Ivy (1968), starring Academy Award winner Sidney Poitier and the radiant Abbey Lincoln.

In this sophisticated romantic comedy-drama, Abbey Lincoln plays Ivy Moore, a dignified and intelligent domestic worker whose employers secretly attempt to “fix her up” before she leaves to pursue a new chapter in life. Enter Sidney Poitier as Jack Parks — charming, smooth, and unexpectedly vulnerable. What begins as manipulation turns into something deeper: respect, admiration, and authentic love.

Released in 1968 during a transformative moment in American history, For Love of Ivy broke ground by portraying Black professionals and romantic leads with elegance, depth, and agency — without stereotype or caricature. Poitier reportedly helped develop the film’s concept to ensure Black love stories were portrayed with class and complexity.

This Valentine’s weekend, we’re honoring Black romance — the kind built on dignity, chemistry, ambition, and grown-folks energy.
