I PASSED FOR WHITE (1960). Extremely off the wall exploitation that is still off beat enough to check out. A very light skinned black woman is tired of being turned down for jobs, being questioned why she's dating a black man and getting static about seeing her darker brother play in a nightclub. She decides to hit the big city, where not knowing anyone, she can make a fresh start. Things go OK for awhile-she has a different backstory of her past-until she falls in love with James Franciscus and meets his family. And then the trouble starts as her future Mother-In -Law is quite nosy, lots of questions involving family/location and having the wherewithal to get the answers. Worth seeing. ***
