She dreams of leaving her sterile lifestyle and Long Island residence for big city living and a series of adventures on the road to self-discovery. Her employers, however, are loath to lose her.

Reviews for For Love of Ivy
It's an equal opportunity offender: supporting both white and black bourgeois dreams.
...Poitier's always a pleasure to watch, even when the story surrounding him isn't exactly captivating.
