"In the Heat of the Night takes modern-day viewers to a time and place not so long ago, where racial hatred in the U.S. remains alive and chillingly relevant. Sidney Poitier plays an excellent performance in this classic, which, although not my personal favorite of the year, is completely deserving of its praise. "

"31.5.11. TV Yön kuumuudessa on monellakin tapaa mielenkiintoinen teos. Se on yksi ensimmäisistä kansalaisoikeusliikkeen asiaa ajavista filmeistä. Samalla elokuvahistoriallisesti se on ensimmäisiä mustan poliisin ja valkoisen poliisin välistä yhteistyötä kuvaavia elokuvia ja jolle on vuosien mittaan löytynyt valtavasti jäljittelijöitä - Across 110th Street, Tappavat aseet ja muut klassikot tietysti etunenässä.

He rocks it and makes the film a classic. Strange that two Poitier films were nominated in the acting categories this year but Poitier received zero noms. "

" Watched February 17th - TCM - 1st Viewing "They call me Mister Tibbs." - Virgil Tibbs I had seen the TV show In The Heat Of The Night with Howard Rollins and Carol O'Conner, but this is the first time I have seen the movie the show was based on.

"Katsottu: 22.1.2012 Melko onnistunut kuvaus ennakkoluuloista ja rasismista. Mississippissä ei pidetä mustista miehistä. Takapajulan juntit joutuvat kuitenkin vastahakoisesti ottamaan apua mustalta poliisilta, joka on erikoistunut murhatutkimuksiin. Ihan kiva murhamysteeri, jonka lopetus ainakin itseni pääsi jotenkuten yllättämään."
