Review of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967) by Diana W — 06 Oct 2009

Well, the setting is limited to the girl's house, so can't say much about it. But. it's set in the Bay Area (one of the scenes shows the famed Golden Gate in the vicinity). Rated 4 thanks to the brilliant performances as usual from Tracy, Hepburn, and Poitier.

I like the fact that the film revolves on the racial issue, a bold move considering it was made in the era where prejudice against african-american still prevailed. Title sounds comedic, but I'd consider it more of a drama.

Humour is still there, mostly found in dialogues between Hepburn-Tracy duo. Not rated 5 since the setting is a little bit dull, It'd be better if they could like go outside more often rather than just staying around the house all-day-long (except the one time Hepburn-Tracy drive for a takeout).
