Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner is a groundbreaking 1967academy award winning comedy drama film produced and directed by Stanley Kramer, starring Spencer Tracy (in his final role), Sidney Poitier, and Katharine Hepburn, and features Hepburn’s niece Katharine Houghton. The film was one of the first of the time to depict an interracial marriage in a positive light, as interracial marriage historically had been illegal in many states of the United States. It was still illegal in 17 states, until June 12, 1967, just after this film was released. It shows in heartwarming tones, the emotional, internal and social conflict that parents, on both sides of the divide go through, when they want “only“what is best” for their children, and in the end how they deal with that and their own prejudices.This is a highly intelligent, funny movie that will still resonate with us, nearly 60 years on.
