Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967)

Second viewing; first viewed between 1983 and 1986

A white woman introduces her black boyfriend to her parents, saying she intends to marry him.

In my review to The Defiant Ones, I said that this film is that film's logical consequence. It is also a disagreeable film on purely artistic grounds, with a very schematic and artificial plot premise and a resolution crowned by a grand sermon but with not a hint to psychological explanations. In short, it's pure and simple propaganda, albeit well-filmed and with a lovely cinematography.

Rating: 40 (down from 51)
