While Adam is the prosecutor in the case, Amanda defends Doris because she believes that Doris has the right to get revenge–just as men always have. Sexual equality, Amanda argues, is what should set Doris free. Doris is acquitted, but both Adam and Amanda admit that men and women are different, and, hence, the battle of the sexes continues.

  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."

Battle of the Giants1fatts 06/16/2009 
  The story is that when this movie was being shot, actors on the lot would find their way to the set to just hang out and watch the battle of the giants: Spencer Tracy and Fredric March. It was a good script; no one could direct courtroom like Stanley Kramer; nice casting; great set: but it is, in the end, March and Tracy eating the scenery and creating character.
Other good things deserve to be said about this movie, but it's watching the two actors of their generation pull out the stops that overshadows everything else.

Prettry much as "important" as it thinks it is1fatts 04/05/2007 
  Be wary of "important" movies. The cast and crew, the critics and pundits can become so wrapped in the aura of the message that needs to be imparted to a waiting world that the human story is lost and we find ourselves being barraged by sanctimonious monologues or, worse, symbolism piled on symbolism to express the truth that words cannot express. (Honestly, did anyone really understand the last ten minutes of 2001?)
But this movie is better than that. It doesn't escape it all, I suppose, but the center of the thing is the consideration of what is evil and what is decency, played out on a stage of characters who give it humanity.
I have considered -- rather often, actually -- what has traveled best in this film in the last forty-five years and what has traveled less well. It is the underplaying that still holds us, the messages not spoken but shown on faces and in motions. Maximilian Schell's defense attorney is all words and logic, which, at its best moments, serve as a counterpoint to the quiet humanity which the destroyed reflect and the innocent portray. It was an Academy Award well deserved. I don't think Tracy ever did better work. Montgomery Clift's short scene is among the most moving ever filmed. Dietrich, Garland, so many others do such fine work.
Richard Widmark, on the other hand, is too theatrical, as is Burt Lancaster, Werner Klemperer and too many others. It is the writing and the direction, but most of all, it is the strain of taking on the issue.. It was 1961, and Hollywood was finally putting on film the question of the guilt of the Holocaust. It WAS important. The writing was honest enough to cast shadows of complicity over Western big business, Cold War Political Fears, the growing willingness of a war-weary world to turn a blind eye to last year's injustice and the suffering of those too unimportant to be represented. The responsibility, the scope of all that, and, no doubt, the pride of all that led to too much Hollywood is the writing and direction.
Yet, on the whole, "Judgment" remembers to focus on the people and not the speeches, and that rescues the film and redeems it. It is still, even after nearly half a century, shocking, complex and deeply thought provoking.
And, yes, it is important. How important? I don't think anyone should be allowed to graduate high school without having seen this film and discussed it with a knowledgeable, sensitive adult -- not only as a "Holocaust" discussion, but as the starting point for the question of why good people allow evil into the world and what, if anything, moral people can do to stand against it.

  Politics in big cities is the theme of this compelling story, which is based on the tenure of Boston Mayor James Curley. Mayor Frank Skeffington (Spencer Tracy) tries to assist the people of his city and even deals in corruption to achieve his goal. When banker Norman Cass (Basil Rathbone) refuses to give Skeffington a loan, Skeffington uses his political clout and blackmails Cass into giving him the money. Skeffington's nephew, reporter Adam Caulfield (Jeffrey Hunter), admires Skeffington, but even he cannot ignore the devious methods employed by his uncle to achieve success. This film is well worth watching for anyone interested in the inner-workings of U.S. politics and for the great job by the seasoned cast.
