The Heart is a Lonely Hunter
BlackTree Media’s Saturday Movie Special – Celebrating Black History Month!
This Black History Month, we continue to spotlight legendary performances in Black cinema. This week, we feature The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (1968)—a deeply moving drama starring Cicely Tyson and Alan Arkin in one of the most poignant films of its time.
Based on Carson McCullers’ classic novel, the film follows John Singer (Alan Arkin), a deaf-mute man who moves to a small Southern town and forms profound connections with its residents, including Dr. Copeland (Percy Rodrigues), a proud Black doctor, and his strong-willed daughter Portia (Cicely Tyson). As they all struggle with loneliness, racial tensions, and personal dreams, the film delivers a powerful message about human connection, empathy, and resilience. Arkin’s performance earned him an Academy Award nomination, and Cicely Tyson’s compelling role solidified her status as a trailblazer in Black Hollywood.
