Film Focus: Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (Online)
June 26, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Starring Sidney Poitier, Kathryn Hepburn, and Spencer Tracy, with Hepburn’s niece, Katharine Houghton, this was one of the very few films of the time to depict interracial marriage in a positive light. When it premiered in 1967, Variety reviewer A.D. Murphy wrote, “Problem: how to tell an interracial love story in a literate, non-sensational, and balanced way. Solution: make it a drama with comedy.” You decide how much is drama, how much comedy, how much romance, and how much is credible.
