The only movie that comes to mind with Sidney Poitier as a fugitive is THE DEFIANT ONES, but I can't remember if there's a pregnant girl in it.
Can you tell me the name of the film where Sidney Poitier plays a fugitive who is on the run and takes up sanctuary with a pregnant girl? I had trouble finding this out, on Wikipedia and other Sidney Poitier movie links. Thanks – it's driving me crazy!!
