Review of In the Heat of the Night (1967) by Steve K — 30 Jun 2014
A smartly written if fairly straightforward mystery that touches on intersecting racial, class, and regional tensions in the 1960s South. The cinematography, score, and cast all create the sense of a down on its luck redneck town, and Sydney Poitier skillfully conveys a sense of poise and calm with indignation boiling under the surface.
