mother viciously tries to have her son's marriage annulled simply because the woman in question has black ancestors from 5 generations back.

The racism theme is very prominent in this film and that could have been a lot less to make it appear more realistic, despite a compelling story, I did not know Julie London as an actress yet, but she is a very beautiful appearance and also plays her role more than fine.
