Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner

Director
Stanley Kramer
Certificate
PG
Running Time
108 mins

Wealthy couple Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn are somewhat alarmed when their daughter Katharine Houghton brings home a black fella whom she intends to marry. Now their liberal principles are about to be severely tested.

Tracy and Hepburn’s last film together is a landmark ishoo movie, though many accused it of playing safe by casting the great Sidney Poitier as an impeccably respectable, scrupulously polite doctor to whom no one could possibly take a dislike.
