Because of this, I have been intrigued to see the message the film was going to send. Guess Who's Coming To Dinner is a beautifu... read more

Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner is a little heavy-handed, slightly clumsy in its dealings with racial issues and family strife, but it comes complete with wonderful performances.

" Sidney Poitier as John Prentice and Katherine Houghton as Joanna Drayton Twenty-three year old Joanna Drayton's unannounced early return from her Hawaiian vacation causes a stir when she brings her new fiancé to her upper-class family home in San Francisco. He is John Prentice: a 37-year-old black (the 1967 dialogue uses the term Negro throughout) physician and medical professor, whom she met just 10 days prior, whose first wife and young son were killed in a train accident eight years earlier"

"First viewing - Aug. 27th I don't know why I've delayed watching this for so long. It's a really well-made film, full of stellar performances and a script that's still (sadly) relevant. I have zero complaints and the only thing missing was that perfect 10 feeling. I'll gladly watch it again down the road. "
