Description

Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn (who won the Academy Award(r) for Best Actress for her performance) are unforgettable as perplexed parents in this landmark 1967 movie about mixed marriage. Joanna (Katharine Houghton), the beautiful daughter of crusading publisher Matthew Drayton (Tracy) and his patrician wife Christina (Hepburn), returns home with her new fiancé John Prentice (Sidney Poitier), a distinguished black doctor. Christina accepts her daughter's decision to marry John, but Matthew is shocked by this interracial union; the doctor's parents are equally dismayed. Both families must sit down face to face and examine each other's level of intolerance. In Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, director Stanley Kramer has created a masterful study of society's prejudices.

    For years, I heard the hushed tone comments about this movie, but when I finally got around to seeing it, I was wondering what all the commotion was about. It's understandable, considering the subject matter, that it was highly criticized in the time it was made, but the fact that even in the 202*s some people are still fired up about it, shows how far some have NOT come, over the years. All in all an excellent performance by everyone in the movie especially Spencer Tracy, Sidney Poitier, Katharine Hepburn, Cecil Kellaway, Roy Glenn and one of my favorites... Isabel Sanford.

    My husband recommended this amazing movie. Not sure why I waited so long to see it. Its now in my favorite category. I laughed, cried and pondered my own thoughts of how my parents would have reacted if this occurred within our family. This is a lovely film. Looking forward to seeing it again. So glad I purchased the movie.

    This movie is truly a joy to watch! Spencer Tracey was in poor health while this film was being made. At one time the producers were going to pull the plug and stop production. But Sidney Poitier and Katharine Hepburn came forth and save the film. This film really has an underlying story about race relations and how it can affect you for the better!

  • Classic!

    One of the best movies of all time. I find myself reciting some of the lines to my parents.." You and your generation think the way it was,is the way it has to be." This movie is timeless and can teach us all a lot about ourselves.
