   “And I say the color kids are better than the white kids,” a phrase uttered by Mr. Drayton, Joanna’s father, to John about children dancers on television in Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner is 1967’s version of Get Out’s “I would’ve voted for Obama for a third term if I could.” John Prentice is everything a parent could want for their daughter – he’s a classic example of both a gentleman and a man helplessly in love. Prentice is holding every door he can open for his fiancee Joanna, grabbing her luggage off of the airport conveyor belt, opening car doors for her and helping her out of a taxi. However, the Drayton’s soon find their self-proclaimed liberal reputation dissolving…

   Both times someone said “guess who’s coming to dinner” the answer was NOt Sidney Poitier. What an absolute plot twist.

   To deny the cozy, gratifying, and refreshing aura of this film seems fairly dismissive. ’60s cinema has a distinct studio system color palette that both sets it apart from other eras of filmmaking and hooks the viewer in with its sense of warmth and amiability. “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” is a phrase that may not have originated from this film, but despite its popularity, I still found significance and comfort in the title alone. I’m coming to dinner along with this group of guests and hosts, flying and colliding along with their sense of admiration, vulnerability, and knowledge. Both the actual narrative and story surrounding this film’s production make it utterly emotional, and it’s easy to see why audiences had such a connection to it. There’s no denying that it’s an absolute masterclass in ensemble acting as everyone injects the perfect amount of enthusiasm and depth to keep the entertainment value flowing.

   just thought i’d share some information i’ve learnt because the heartbreaking fact that tracy was dying during filming makes this classic, particularly the ending speech, even more memorable. since they knew how ill tracy was, they wrote two scripts for the film, one with him and one without. hepburn and kramer used their salaries as backings in order to cover the costs if tracy was to die on set. the director also used multiple cameras at different angles to capture the final speech in one take because he knew any extra takes would be too much for tracy to handle. hepburn’s character crying in the last scene were genuine tears for her friend, knowing that this would be his last time on screen. tracy died shortly after filming (17 days i believe). it’s crazy to think that sometimes the things happening behind the scenes are so much more special than we think, perhaps even more special than the movie itself.

   Yes, it plays like a Public Service Announcement for Middle America ca. 1967, but it is a beautifully acted Public Service Announcement. No, it hasn’t dated that well, but when Tracy gives the speech at the end, and there’s Katherine Hepburn looking on, eyes overflowing with tears, knowing that this will be Tracy’s last moment on screen … well it’s one of those moments where the weight of what was happening outside the movie was greater than what was going on in the movie. And I’m not ashamed to admit, it kind of wrecked me.

   No joke, the buildup to Katharine Hepburn seeing Sidney Poitier for the first time is the most stressed out I’ve been watching a movie in like a year

    Eine wunderhübsche Liebesgeschichte. Definitiv nicht zeitgenössisch, sehr zeitbezogen eher. Jedoch unglaublich substanzreich und revolutionär (naja) für seine Vergangenheitsrealität. Sydney Poitier als auch der Vater liefern unglaublich emotionale und tiefgründige, so wichtige Denkanstöße über die moralischen Wertvorstellungen in den 50er und 60er Jahren. Die Liebe und Hoffnung sterben zuletzt. “You think of yourself as a coloured man, I think of myself as a man.” Diese rigiden und als unantastbar vermittelten Denkweisen muss man brechen. Und auch heute hängt diese Last des Pessimismus oftmals an der veränderungsfreudigen Generation.

    Spencer Tracy’s ending monologue is the chefs kiss to this great film.

    Der Humor hat gepasst. Die beiden Mütter waren Mäuse und der Pfarrer auch. Die Dialoge wurden sehr gut geschrieben (insbesondere auch der Monolog des Vaters am Ende hätte nicht emotionaler sein können. Die Szene hat mich sehr emotional mitgenommen) Der Umgang mit Rassismus als Thematik zur dieser Zeit war echt gelungen. Ich finde es sehr wichtig, dass es sich ,,getraut” wurde, offen anzusprechen und zu kritisieren. Generell auch ein schöner Film, der mit seiner Cinematography und seiner Kameraführung überzeugen konnte.

    the idea of being opposed to an interracial couple is so fucking stupid. they look different? oh cry me a river. conservatives have historically always been the snowflakes

    Such a lovely movie that tackles not only tensions surrounding interracial marriage, but love, and parental relationships. Incredibly written and important to its time, I have no notes.

    “You and your whole lousy generation believes the way it was for you is the way it’s got to be. And not until your whole generation has lain down and died will the dead weight of you be off our backs!” not perfect in any sense but clearly ahead of it’s time for the year it was made. all of the acting performances were incredible.

    Katherine Hepburn. Love the fashion in this. Mixed racial couple movie back then must have been controversial. Super fast engagement. Great storyline. Entertaining yet addressing a very hot topic. Bold movie with a great statement. Love the dad comes around and makes a great speech at the end. The girl (Joana) I feel lives in lala land she’s so young and has t experienced hardwork or much adversity.

    The performances in this movie are phenomenal. Joanna is such a red flag though.

    The beginning of this film kept reminding me of Jordan Peele’s Get Out, as both featured a white girl bringing her Black lover to meet her hypocritical parents. Its theme was quite progressive at that time. But, it feels outdated, pretentious and even unintentionally satirical nowadays, especially the corny mansplaining about love from the girl’s dad. In my view, the real protagonist, Sidney Poitier, should have been nominated for Best Actor instead of Spencer Tracy, and Faye Dunaway should have won Best Actress instead of Katharine Hepburn at the time.

    I enjoyed this movie! I expected it to be a comedy but it’s actually more of a drama. I think the movie itself is more of a 3 1/2 star movie for me but for historical significance and the fact that it inspired Get Out, I gave it an extra 1/2. This movie actually came out 6 months after mixed race marriage was legalized, and has a message that is still very relevant today (wokeness/actual behavior/social barriers). I also think…

    2026 version where parents of a polycule meet Sidney Poitier is the best to ever do it.

    This movie invented being woke and Katharine Hepburn invented motherhood in a two for one deal

    “Listen to me. You say you don’t have to tell me how to live my life. So what do you think you’ve been doing? You tell me what rights I’ve got, or haven’t got, and what I owe to you, for what you’ve done for me? Let me tell you something. I owe you nothing. If you carried that bag a million miles, you did what you were supposed to do. Because you brought me…

    Propaganda piece in support of interracial marriage. Tracy and Hepburn do quite well. The others could use a little chemistry. All in all, an okay one-time watch.

    shocking progressive considering the time period it was released. even though the issues that were discussed was showcased, it wasn’t that in depth, but i do appreciate what it brings to the surface.

    Dernière collaboration entre Spencer Tracy (ce sera son dernier film) et Katharine Hepburn (qui prendra soin de lui, allant même jusqu’à arrêter le tournage pour qu’il puisse se reposer), l’un, si ce n’est le meilleur, duo homme/femme du cinéma hollywoodien. Ici, ils interprètent une fois encore un couple, un ménage américain. L’histoire est simple : comment vont-ils recevoir le fait que leur unique fille souhaite se marier avec un homme noir plus âgé qu’elle et qu’elle vient à peine de…

    Va bene che erano glia anni ’60, ma è invecchiato proprio male, visto ora sembra una lezione di educazione civica delle elementari.
