Review of In the Heat of the Night (1967) by Chris M — 06 Jan 2013
A racist but just southern sheriff (Rod Steiger) must work with a northern African-American detective (Sidney Poitier) to solve a challenging murder case in Norman Jewison's intriguing mystery, In the Heat of the Night.
The case itself is not really the main reason to see this picture. The big reason In the Heat of the Night gets its entertainment value is for the dialogue and exchanges between Steiger and Poitier. The picture does an effective job at proving that even though these two are almost polar opposites, there are certain aspects that they both respect about each other.
