A 50 year old dinner – Still warm
I went to see it for the first time with my grandmother when I was 17. I loved it but it felt strange to me because my grandmother after 22 years of widowhood, had remarried to an African American man. He had become a blessing in my grandmother’s life and in ours. How could Spencer Tracy of all people be against the union? After the movie we went to dinner and my grandmother answered all my questions with a single answer that’s been with me always and that sometimes explains absurdities like Charlottesville 2017 – “Society, humanity doesn’t evolve all at the same time” Of course Grandma’, you were right. Watching Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner in 2017 was an experience. Is not that Spencer Tracy is against their union, – Tracy was only worried to what his daughter was going to face 1967 – He was thinking like a father and not like a thinking, evolved liberal. On the other hand, Roy Glenn, Sidney Poitier’s father objects to his son marrying a white girl. Sidney Poitier stops him by saying “Dad, you see yourself as a colored man, I see myself as a man” Was it as didactic as it sounds in 1967? Who cares? The message was delivered – I also was so moved to see Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy together for the last time and they knew it was for the last time. Sidney Poitier is superb as the messenger who points at the absurdity of racism. Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner is a delicious document of its day.

What’s groundbreaking back then might seem very dated today—but it’s still a fine, fine film.
A 23 year-old lady (Katharine Houghton) brings home a surprise house guest–her black fiancé (Sidney Poitier)! While today such a thing isn’t all that unusual, her liberal-minded parents are thrown by their decision. Not surprisingly, his parents are equally stunned. Can these two manage to get their parents’ consent and live happily ever after.

I think that much of what “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” is as a picture is lost on younger audiences. Today, the idea of interracial marriages isn’t what it was back in 1967. Back then, it was so novel and so controversial that I doubt younger viewers could comprehend it. After all, just before this movie was released, it was against the law in many US states for such a marriage! Crazy, but true. So, while the reactions of everyone to this marriage might seem quaint today–back then it was truly an explosive issue. But even if this makes the film seem a tad dated, it is a marvelous film from start to finish because it features some of the best acting I can recall having seen in a movie. While Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn (who won the Oscar for this film) are the people we think of today in the film, Beah Richards and Roy Glenn (as Sidney Poitier’s parents) were simply dynamite. Together, this cast represents one of the higher points of the 1960s–not just for its social message but for its amazing acting. And, of course, the great dialog and direction made this a possibility. Simply terrific…just make sure to keep some Kleenexes handy for this one.

By the way, as a father of two daughters who are old enough to marry, what stunned me today about this couple was NOT the interracial angle but that they had only known each other for 10 days!! Now THAT was the crazy part to me!
