Guess Who's Coming to Dinner description
Spencer Tracy's last performance was in this well-meaning, handsome film by Stanley Kramer about a pair of white parents (Tracy and Katharine Hepburn) trying to make sense of their daughter's impending marriage to an African American doctor (Sidney Poitier). The film has been knocked over the years for padding conflict and stoking easy liberalism by making Poitier's character in every socioeconomic sense a good catch: But what if Kramer had made this stranger a factory worker? Would the audience still find it as easy to accept a mixed-race relationship? But there's no denying the drawing power of this movie, which gets most of its integrity from the stirring performances of Tracy and Hepburn. When the former (who had been so ill that the production could not get completion insurance) gives a speech toward the end about race, love, and much else, it's impossible not to be affected by the last great moment in a great actor's life and career. --Tom Keogh |

Excellent Movie!

| I absolutely love this movie. The cast is phenomenal, the story is beautiful and the movie as a whole is still a heart-moving masterpiece. First of all, you can't go wrong with Spencer Tracy, Katherine Hepburn and Sidney Poitier. What I really like about this movie is how much it's set up like a stage play. There is little background music and one main set, but it flows and keeps you interested without all that flashy Hollywood glitz. If you're looking for a movie that's funny, suspenseful, and a great true-life romance, look no further. |
