Review of In the Heat of the Night (1967) by Silver B — 31 May 2009
A great movie that won Oscar for best picture of 1967. Two outstanding performances by Sidney Poitier as Virgil Tibbs and Rod Steiger as Chief Gillespie. What makes this an outstanding movie is the two plots going on at once that constantly intertwine.
First you have a good murder mystery going on of the towns richest man. Combine that with the racial issues between Tibbs and Gillespie and you quickly get caught up in the story. Norman Jewison does a brilliant job of direction.
Throw in the music of Quincy Jones to help enhance the mood and you will find yourself involved in the Heat Of The Night.
