A good movie but if I was the Black Doctor I would have not worried about an autopsy when everyone else was convince that he did not murder the guy's brother
If I could do a remake of this film, I would have the white woman grab the gun and kill the bigot. But a doctor would not have allowed that. Because you know, the difficulty of being a doctor is to help someone regardless of colour even if that person is a bigot.
That's a sad statement. If you think that way... it will be true. You are what you project. You can turn anything around. Change YOUR thoughts/ change your reality. Trust me.. and good luck!
What an ignorant statement. Your premise is simply untrue. Conservative does NOT equate to anything about race. It's about small government and fiscal responsibility. Why did you make it about race? hmmmm?! BTW; This is my favorite movie of all time, and my favorite line is Sidney giving his dad the what-for.
I could watch this movie over and over and over again and again and again... I think it's one of the best films ever made, and each actor is absolutely brilliant.
And who'da thunk that he'd be in charge of the War on Whistleblowers, drone assassinations of (Muslim) American citizens without due process and veiled giveaways to Wall Street. Hope and Change!
No my friend, you are wrong in your interpretation. Let me explain it to you from a black person's perspective. The maid had an attitude many blacks had at the time...she felt that Poitier was living 'above' himself by marrying a white woman. It is a subtle form of prejudice that still exists among some black people. If you are not an American black it would be difficult to see and understand. But that's it. Has absolutely nothing to do with the fact the the maid raised her.
People always say that mankind isn't accomplishing anything in this world or improving himself at all. I always hear people say that we not only aren't getting any better as far as kindness and being more Godly, but that we are getting even worse. Maybe that's true, I don't know. But when you watch this movie you can certainly see at least one way that people have gotten better. They're definitely more accepting and open minded, and maybe at least a little less racist.
This is the most beautiful love story movie I have ever seen. Too bad this will never happen to me in real life because no woman (regardless of race) wants to be with me.
and also, how times HAVEN'T changed...
You are so correct!
One of my favourite movies of all time. Still so very relevant in more than the obviouos way...
Sidney is from the Caribbean so he has a more British approach. Just because he's black doesn't mean he's a gangxta. :-)
But was a dilema in the pass and today in some state of south of USA some Judges do not want to marry couples mixed

fantastic movie.
Their son becomes the 44th President! Lol
"don't speak, just go" only K.Hepburn can make such a simple line seem so powerful
I think Joey and John would make the most GORGEOUS children!
I loved the priests version of We can work it out by the Beatles!!!!!!
this movie is just great. i love all these actresses and actors. and katherine hepburns niece in this movie was just fantastic.
It was in 1967.
now i see where "Guess Who" got their inspiration

i think that mike may be from the future with what he was saying
Thank you then. But I think both interpretations are ok. I think there's something from yours and mine here.
ohhhh I love this movie very much!!! I am from North Africa and I love America cause there is no racism over there, these days i have to say !!!
The incomparable Beah Richards.

WOW!!!! What a scene!! Ms. Hepburn is the best of all time.

I love this movie...such a great message. It truly reminds us that true love knows no bounds.
"It's not that I don't want to know you Hillary, although I don't,...". LOLOL Best EVER!

Ms. Houghton is her niece in real life.
The scene between Tracy and Beah Richards was incredible. Ms. Richards was an astonishing actress.

Sidney is so handsome. Swoon..
@TheFiyinfolu /mN1p2iSOa4U
thanks for posting this film. Really enjoyed it...just to think of all that unnecessary bigotry of the past...we laugh at it now.
No wonder so many conservatives in the West loathe the 1960s with a disgust that would make your brain boil right in your skull.
OMG...she fell in love with a colored man. How very shocking...LOL!
Richard Widmark was a great actor.
Ms. Hepburn and her niece look so much alike to be mother and daughter they even have the same name!
and to think they met in Hawaii the Obama's also met in Hawaii "quinky dink" eh?
This is the most beautiful love story movie I have ever seen. Too bad this will never happen to me in real life because no woman (regardless of race) wants to be with me.
Hey a Japanese owned joint in this film.
I am a black expat living and working in Japan. All northeast Asians should watch this.
I've never heard the word "bitch" used like that in a 60s film!
Extraordinary movie. Thx for uploading!
what a movie! thks for posting:)
sophisticated man listening "sophisticated lady" while drinking over the sink 0:59
why Richard Widmark never won an Oscar is a mystery. He was fabulous. He and Sidney Poitier became life-long friends after this movie.
Thanks for this classic.
@6ebony2 That was such a powerful scene...
