Last weekend I watched an old favorite movie, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, made in 1967. It was on my instant cue through Netflix. If you like old-er movies, especially dialogue movies, this is one of the best.
The movie takes place all in one day. Joey suprises her liberal parents (played by Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy -- did you know they were long-time lovers in real life and Tracy died while making this movie?) by bringing home John, who she just met 10 days ago and who happens to be black. They want her parents blessing for their marriage.
His parents end up being invited for dinner and they're suprised also. Oh, it's a great movie. And Sidney Portier is in his absolute prime - gorgeous!
