Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

Though time has worn some of it, Katharine Hepburn’s performance—fierce, emotionally charged, and sharply funny—remains unforgettable.

I'm thinking it's too brief, too tightly spaced to reàlly address the subject matter. It feels like a made for TV movie. But ok, I'll admit it - Beah Richards and Spencer Tracy's parts were my favorite parts. Tracy's speech at the end comes off as a bit pontificating, but I still liked it. Not a great film, but enjoyable and satisfying. Roger Ebert wrote a good review if you want to look.

The last movie my mother watched...in a room of an metropolitan hospital some day before she died. It was the last time seeing my mummy smiling. Grateful for that to this movie... I wanted to share this memory with all of you.

I've seen this film several times and I am still deeply impressed for various reaons: the casting; the political timing; the script (although sometimes a bit predictable!). It's important to remember that this was such a controversial film in its day that several states in the US banned it from being shown.

Well that was pretty good for a stage play. Spencer Tracy was awesome (first role I've ever seen him play) and Ingrid Bergman, but I didn't care for the female love interest.

I have so many serious misgivings about this film but for 80% of the film, if I transported myself to the mad world where this kind of relationship represented a serious issue, then I could appreciate the screenplay. Made for the theatre really but kept gripping by some good all round acting. Now, there are serious issues when this is looked through modern day eyes but my biggest problem was the grandstanding by the father at the end of the film. It was meant to be a sentimental and emotional finale but it felt contrived and horrible self centred for the father to take the stand and turn this issue into him and to try and come across self righteous when in fact he was just a bigot throughout the film.

This classic movie was really good. Sidney Poitier, Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Katharine Houghton, Isabel Sanford, Beah Richards, Roy Glenn, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this movie. The story of the movie was dramatic, heartfelt, and emotional. It's about fighting for love no matter what the circumstances are. If you haven't seen this classic movie yet, check it out sometime. It's a must see.

One of the best movies to address racism with one of the greatest casts of all time.

I cry every time I watch this, at the end, when he looks in Hepburn's eyes when he says those lines, the Truth and Love in them get's me!

Great social commentary on interracial marriage!
