Classic films features the Great Divas of Hollywood’s Golden Age: Bette and Kate.
This week, see the classic movie “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner”(1967), starring Katharine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, and Sidney Poitier; directed by Stanley Kramer.
When Joanna Drayton (Katharine Houghton), a free-thinking white woman, and black doctor John Prentice (Sidney Poitier) become engaged, they travel to San Francisco to meet her parents. Matt Drayton (Spencer Tracy) and his wife Christina (Katharine Hepburn) are wealthy liberals who must confront the latent racism the coming marriage arouses. Also attending the Draytons’ dinner are Prentice’s parents (Roy E. Glenn Sr., Beah Richards), who vehemently disapprove of the relationship.
