Guess Who's Coming to Dinner**
(US 1967)
A liberal-minded San Francisco couple find their values tested when then their daughter brings home an intelligent black doctor for their potential son-in-law.
Slick but superficial feelgood race relations drama which looks like a play but isn't: most of the messages were perhaps more potent then (it was released when interracial marriage was still largely illegal in the US), but the stars raise it to something greater than it is, particularly as a dying last legacy from Spencer Tracy.
Written by: William Rose.
Producer/Director: Stanley Kramer.
Starring: Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Sidney Poitier, Katharine Houghton, Cecil Kellaway, Beah Richards, Roy Glenn, Virginia Christine.
Photography: Sam Leavitt.
Music: Frank De Vol.
