This was the last movie Spencer Tracy acted in; he died less than a month after filming completed. Because of this, Katharine Hepburn, his lifelong love, could never bring herself to watch the completed film.

I have always loved this movie since I was a little girl; My mom is a true fan of Sidney Poitier, so we fell in line liking his movies and all; But this one brought a question to every American: what if my daughter(or son)brought home someone that he intends to marry home? ok, no problem; but what if it’s someone of another color or race? Hmm; Of course, Tracey(last movie role) and Hepburn give great performances as well as Poitier and the young lady, but this movie also makes you think almost forty years since the film was first made; how would I feel? what I most like about this film is that it makes you think long after it’s over; Stanley Kramer directed it and gave a stellar film that still rings true today;

Because it’s an old movie, most people feel comfortaable in believing that these kinds of attitudes towards interracial relationships don’t exist anymore. What a charmed life that person must lead and how lucky they are to persist in such delusions. If there were an updated version [“Crash” almost touches interraciality], it would still hold up today. I love the movie because the performances are also superior. You’ll also see Isabel “Weezie” Sanford who is marvelous. This movie is good as a thought-provoker, an entertainer and an example of good acting.
