Review of In the Heat of the Night (1967) by Danny D — 11 Mar 2008
The winner of 5 oscars in 1967 including best picture, this film deals with race in the south in the late 60's. poitier throws in a great performance and the crime story serves as a great means to the real plot of prejudice.
the only downside was a very anticlimatic ending, but the movie was engaging and profound. 67' is the year that new hollywood was ushered in, and this film and the graduate are the poster children for the shift.
great film.
