- I’ve been racking my brain for years trying to figure out the name of this old black/white movie. It’s an old movie of a biracial woman passing for white. Her mom was a slave. She denounced her black heritage and later married a white man. He wasn’t aware that she was biracial. She got pregnant and when she had the baby, it looked more black than white. The husband strangled her to death because he thought she had an affair with a slave. At her funeral, he discovered her identify cuz he met her mother. He was consumed with guilt because he loved her dearly and realized he was wrong. Not sure what else happens.
