Guess
who's coming to dinner (1967)
This movie won an Oscar
for Best picture along with Best Actress
(supporting role)
In addition to Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn, this movie Stars Sidney
Potier along with Katherine Houghton (an actress we didn't know
too much about
till we checked a link to her bio wich is available at the
IMDB url listed
above) from which we have included an up-to-date picture
of her in addition to a
scene image from the movie
The point of the movie it seems is to break through the taboos of Interracial
couples which have always existed everywhere on the planet affecting all peoples
throughout history until recently perhaps it seems. In this regard this 1967
movie was certainly ahead of its time for such thinking and will remain so for a
considerable time period yet i would guess perhaps too.
The movie opens with the song lines that say "you've got to give a little - and
take a little - that's the glory of love" apparently suggesting some sort of
compromise perhaps to the people whose ideas on these matters may be unwilling
to adapt to the ideas of more recent periods it would seem.
