This film has a special place in my heart. I love the way women dressed and carried themselves during this time period. Life was a million times better before social media existed.
I wouldn’t exactly agree that life was “better”, I think people seem dumber now because we can see their lives more clearly now because of social media. I’m sure people could be just as rude and amoral then as they now. Only in modern times they have more access to act on it with social media.
I love that in this movie everybody is rich, has no problems, wonderful ambiente and just blabla talking. And of course Dr. Prentice is accepted, wonder what had happened if he was a baker or butcher😂 During those years rich-people-daughters always married lawyers or doctors.
RIP and long live Spencer Tracy (April 5, 1900 - June 10, 1967), aged 67 And RIP and long live Katherine Hepburn (May 12, 1907 - June 29, 2003), aged 96 And RIP and long live Sidney Poitier (February 20, 1927 - January 6, 2022), aged 94 You will always be remembered as legends.
@@AnnabelleJARankin yes, that's about all that you would have appreciated have been unlucky to have been born a minority!! It appears glamorous and intriguing on the imaginary big screen......as mentioned, ih you had been born black, you faced a high risk of becoming a victim of lynching......there are certain areas ( still) referred to as Su. down towns were blacks are not welcomed..
He provided so much to the young generation and because of him I learned to become self -sufficient in my 20s due to his interest to throw in some of his past experience to help himself which he passed down through his movie in "To Sir with Love" and "A Patch of Blue." Love both of these films beside "Guess Who's coming too dinner" which is my all time favorite.
They were kind of like OJ and Nicole Brown Simpson..😊😅 it was far from this fairy tale movie( in the 60s) there was so much hatred and discrimination, and Jim Crow and division existing here in America! I should know, because I witnessed it personally....Blacks could be literally lynched in an instant second!! 😢sorry to bust your elation.....Do your Internet research.
I loved this movie not just because of the mixed relationship but the wonderful interaction between parents and their young adult children. It made me realized about my relationship with my mother who felt she owned me instead of being a supportive parent to who I have been supportive to help my parents financially out since I was in my teens but throughout their lives. Some parents can't let go and feel they owned us which is wrong for them to think that way. As an independent adult I always felt I was my own person not an appendage to my parent but again an independent soul.
Truth is, you are just stubborn and does not wanna except the wise advise from your much more parents with expierence wisdom! Refrain from being " hard headed, .listen to the elderly!😢
@@daviddavis3389 The fact that I had turned 18 and wanted to finished High School didn't matter to my mother because she wanted me to quit high school to get a full time job instead of the part time job because she decided at 44 to get pregnant again so she can have a dependent to lean on because SOCIAL SECURITY pays parents to keep children at school until they are 18. However, my parents were ignorant and kept taking us out of school so we had to repeat that same grade due to taking us out to visit relatives in another country. Foolish move instead of waiting until Summer. However, what I learned is not to be that type of parent that abused their rights by making children their slaves so they can have "an easy ride through life." without working. I also became a better parent NOTHING LIKE MY PARENTS because I loved my children and only want the best for them including their education and have their own life to be happy and be fulfilled. I became the parent I always wanted for me but my children are the ones that benefited from being that parent. I thank God for his help through those tough times and came out better for the children as a family which my husband and I did provide the best examples of good parents and discipline to learn and be responsible as they got older.
Thanks for your company, You Black, You White, You Brown, You Yellow, thank YOU ALL for the time I spent with you, the good time I had on Planet Earth. Love !
I'm in late 70s I've seen this movie dozens of times. Katherine is beautiful & in such great shape. Spencer is dashing even in older years. Sydney is a natural & love his dialogue with his father. "Dad you see yourself as a Black man & I see myself as a Man" He is so poignant & expressive. Willie was grand, honest & did not mince any thoughts or words. All dialogue & pauses & motions seem to flow naturally while being acted. The only cringe, for me, is the Night Club singer, I now have to fast forward it. Katherine was so fabulous as far back as 1938 Holiday movie with Cary Grant. Her looks personality & abilities to present the character as real & she flowed with style & grace. The home featured in Guess Who's was so elaborate & perfectly set with SF Bay in background. A pleasurable movie to see & hear. Realistic for a unrealistic situation & screenplay. I also love the standards of the people, young & old from the 30s on to the 50s. The hopes & natural behavior & manners sense of honor & dignity that was soon slowly being marooned by The power grabbing socialists who aim to destroy in order to reign over the world's population. It's no wonder in 2023 the youth have no Hope or sense of values or dignity & no trust in government liars who claim to be for the people. The people they are really for are themselves & for power & control. Wake up Americans & let's get old fashioned another chance.
Im 16 and love this film! But I do agree that most youth have to values or dignity. I think this film holds alot of place in this world today in 2023 and I always like hearing perspectives from people your age because.. well you grew up in this generation! Would love to hear more of your thoughts and experiences. I admire your generation.
@@daviddavis3389 No, there were a lot more than just those three: Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Dorothy Dandridge, Hattie MCDaniels, and many more.
This movie along with "Cactus flower" and a movie with Robert Redford-Jane Fonda-"Barefoot in the Park,were my top three romantic movies from this decade..
Maybe, but back in 1967, ( I was a you g teen) the movie reviews were terrible back then an certainly not well received!! Naturally of course.......the vast majority of Americans was not ready for this movie & not prepared for this kind of so called advancement!!! Sometimes I reflect back, and tell myself that we as a nation has come along way.....; then we long around and reality kicks in...things havent Actually changed that much.😢
This film won 2 Academy Awards for Best Story and Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen and Best Actress in a Leading Role - Katharine Hepburn for playing Christina Drayton. Katharine Hepburn had to use her salary as backing in order to make this movie because Spencer Tracy was so ill that the studio didn't think that he would make it to the end of the picture. They didn't want to insure an actor who could possibly die in the middle of production but she refused to do the movie without him. He died 17 days after he finished filming his scenes. Katharine Hepburn never saw the completed movie. She said the memories of Tracy were too painful. This movie was still showing in theaters at the time Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was assassinated. There is a line in the movie where Joey tells the maid another person is coming to dinner, to which Tillie, the maid guesses, "The Reverend Martin Luther King?" When King was murdered, the studio immediately called the theaters showing the film and gave instructions to cut the scene. Katharine Hepburn's character's daughter is played by Hepburn's niece Katharine Houghton. The film was one of the few 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, six months before the film was released, and scenes were filmed just before anti-miscegenation laws were struck down by the Supreme Court in Loving v. Virginia.
Were you even around thrn,? In terms of social issues, things were worst...one thing that i recall is, people dod not hold bsck their true feelings,! They were not shy sbout speaking up and expressing how they felt about you!! Nobody worried about Hurting your feelings!....😢😢😢😢
@@JESUSISLORDFOREVERMORE888 I have 2 points, first of all regarding celebrities post 1940s, thru approximately 2967....I was old enough althought a youngster, nonetheless I was old enough and aware enough to enough to pay attention to the famous Celebrities ( black & other races) at the time...None, as for actors and musicians and others with relatively high profile fame, they were Sammy Davis, Diana Carroll, and Nat King Cole, ( his daughter was Natalie Cole) and the most high profile entertainer was believe it or not Bill Cosby.....Hattie McDaniel was earlier in the 30s....by the 60s America had started to finally give blacks better Roles....good nite...bye ...
@@JESUSISLORDFOREVERMORE888 I forgot to add, Sidney portier was also a huge & very popular actor starting ing the late 1950s...I will explain your question as to why the house keeper Lilly was so protective of "Joey" tomorrow night ..
l love this film so much..no matter this film is old movie but more thn 10 times i repeat it for watching..coz i like the actress and the actor two of them are perfect to love in this movie..
Green screen is still the norm for driving shots. I mean, you don't know how many takes a director might want so it's cheaper and less of a hassle to do it in front of a screen instead of doing it on location. Plus the cameras they had to use to shoot colored movies back then were huge.
Ask a black person that. They hanged up on the black man and he had no say so whatever. If you think differently that is ok. No black person would play those parts today unless they were really hard up for a job and needed the money.
You are wrong! Nothing wrong with the white man finally having the final word....excellent & realistic movie....OH, I was a young ( 14) teen back then, things have certainly improved drastically for the best!
@@daviddavis3389 Nothing wrong in 1967. Now, no black person would play any of those parts. Like when Tilly said "I don't want anyone of my race get above himself." Then ok now not ok
I wanted to be like him ....in love with a beautiful white woman but I wasn't that lucky though I was in Britain for a solid 5 bloody years..still hoping though....anyone?
This film has a special place in my heart. I love the way women dressed and carried themselves during this time period. Life was a million times better before social media existed.
It has a special place in my heart to I love a black man and even almost 80 years later the world hasn’t changed.

She was 23 and He was 36 13 years apart in the movie but in real life they are 18 years apart.
3:23 Watching this scene make me think that now we can make this green screen scene easily in our smartphone
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner might be my favorite non black and white movie, which is kind of ironic because it's about interracial marriage.
Hawaii that they mention in this clip has been part of America for only a few years when this movie was made.
That is total bullshit. Hawaii got its STATEHOOD in 1959, but it was part of the country since 1898.
Rip Sidney Poitier
A legend
Seems like the opening of "Get Out" movie😂
Whoa seeing black people in movies at that time is amazing
And not playing servants or maids!
The only huge black Stars on TV ( in 1967) was Bill Cosby, Sammy Davis Jr & Nat King Cole...

Was it so prohibitively expensive to mount a camera on a moving car in the 60s? Just about every 60s movie I've seen uses pre-shot background footage.
Green screen is still the norm for driving shots. I mean, you don't know how many takes a director might want so it's cheaper and less of a hassle to do it in front of a screen instead of doing it on location.
