Classic Friday : Guess Who's Coming To Dinner (1967) 8/10

Starring : Spencer Tracy, Sidney Poitier, Katherine Hepburn, Katherine Houghton
Director : Stanley Kramer
Running Time : 103 mins

Joey Drayton (Houghton) comes home to see her parents and ask their permission for her to marry medical doctor John Prentice (Poitier). The only problem is Joey is white and John is black, and Joey's parents Matthew (Tracy) and Christina (Hepburn) aren't sure that they want their daughter to have to live with the hypocrisy of society constantly judging their relationship with each other.

This is an absolute classic, filed with some wonderful performances and a no-holds barred approach to the subject matter. Poitier's comic acting as he introduces his girlfriend to his parents is a joy to behold, and in spite of theior racist view on the world, Tracy and Hepburn still genuinely care for their daughter. A must see!
