content: This movie poster depicts two women, on opposite corners of the field. The upper right corner shows a woman (Ethel Waters) from the chest up, wearing a white shirt under a red outer layer, and a yellow turban. She frowns towards the opposite lower left corner, depicting a young woman with red hair (Jeanne Crain), wearing a ruffled top and a strand of pearls. Between them is the title "Pinky" in large red letters on a slight diagonal. Under the title is the phrase "She passed for white!" Across the top margin in black and yellow text are the words "THE BEST FILM OF THE YEAR IS / DARRYL F. ZANUCK'S."
