Everyone deserves a seat at the dinner table
by Kingslaay2017-04-21
8/10

"Guess who's coming to dinner is a first class film. It focuses on the subject of interracial marriage and the challenges that can arise. Set in the 1960s, this was definitely topical. We are treated to first class acting from Sidney Poitier who is arguable one of the greatest and most dignified actors to grace the screen. Great performances from Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn who play shocked and concerned parents. This film also focused on the important issue of walking the talk, righteous people who preach certain ways of living but we see it put to the test when they themselves ..."

💡 Did You Know?

In the scene near the end where Spencer Tracy gives his memorable soliloquy, Katharine Hepburn has tears in her eyes in the background. This was not acting; she knew that her longtime paramour was gravely ill and was moved by his remarks about how true love endures through the years.
