“A joy to see, an evening of superb entertainment…It will make you laugh and may even make you cry.”
—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
“A most delightfully acted and gracefully entertaining film…Mr. Rose has written a deliciously swift and pithy script, and Mr. Kramer has made it spin brightly in a stylish ambience of social comedy.”
—Bosley Crowther, The New York Times
“An outstanding Stanley Kramer production, superior in almost every imaginable way, which examines its subject matter with perception, depth, insight, humor and feeling.” —Variety
Another classic from producing/directing powerhouse Stanley Kramer, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967) is a dramedy lightly treating the heaviest of subjects: race in America. Here, a crusading liberal couple—gorgeously played by that legendary team, Spencer Tracy (in his last film role) and Katharine Hepburn—find their beliefs tested when their daughter (Hepburn’s real-life niece, Katharine Houghton) arrives home with her new fiancé: a handsome, brilliant African American (the handsome, brilliant Sidney Poitier). Nominated for ten Oscars®, the film won two: Best Actress for Hepburn and Best Original Screenplay for William Rose.
