Differences from play
There are few differences from the original play and the film. One difference is that in the movie, Lena Younger (Claudia McNeil) gives Walter $6,500 in a bar. In the play, this is done in their apartment (the only setting throughout the play). The scene where Walter tells Lena that the liquor store is important to him is in Lena's bedroom, where in the play, it's shown in the living room. Also, the mention of Beneatha's mutilated hair is non existent in the film version.
Awards
Ruby Dee won the National Board of Review Award for Best Supporting Actress. Both Poitier and MacNeil were nominated for Golden Globe Awards, and Petrie received a special "Gary Cooper Award" at the Cannes Film Festival.
