| | Relevant Social Film | AvidMovieFan 09/22/2007 | | This film in all its glory was groundbreaking in revealing the human spirit in what and how race matters in America. I loved this film because it captures the true feelings in each of us and challenges the status quo to "marry someone of your own race". Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy offer stellar performances along with Sir Sydney Poitier and Katherine Houghton. The film is set in beautiful San Francisco and offers a sense of hope to all who view the world as colorblind. The year this film was made Jim Crow was still active in this country and challenges us to look inside ourselves and question self-prejudice. Excellent film for all, especially for people who are in and interracial relationship. The line at the end, "you'll just have to hold on to each other tight" and don't give a DAMN what anybody thinks is priceless! |
| | Should a rich white girl marry a black nobel prize winner? | 1fatts 03/26/2007 | I really wanted to like this film.
It was Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy . . . in fact, Tracy's last film. Stanley Kramer directed. And in 1967 to dislike anything Sidney Poitier was in was seen, pretty much in itself, as an act of racism.
But the film -- its comedy and its "importance" -- turned, ultimately, on the conflict caused by the white woman and the black man wanting to marry. And it was all a straw man. The girl (Katherin Houghton), aside from playing about as vivid as a cardboard cutout of a Bryn Mawr recruitment ad, faced no sacrifice of money, position, parental angst, or anything else. The boy was a PhD, brilliant, a guaranteed financial and professional success and spoke the Queen's English with an ease and sophistication that John Gilgood could have envied.
In short: no conflict, no tension, no comedy, no "significance".
"In the Heat of the Night" it wasn't. Maybe "in the cool of the cocktail hour." |

| | I liked this movie. | Anonymous 09/28/2009 | I have heard that this movie was a flop, I don't think so, it is pretty good I think, and it is also sad. Trigger will make you so hungry that after seeing this movie, you have to get something to eat... and you will feel bad for eating it when she can't have any.
