Let's examine the ingredients. First and perhaps the most important is that "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" is a picture of crucial timeliness, a picture whose time and whose emotional impact is right now. Next, the de aliens dane! of the subject is by three Stars of surpassing talent, Spencer Tracy, Sidney Poitier and Katharine Hepburn, each the winner of an Academy award, Tracy winner of two. The announcement of the Tracy-Hepburn re-teaming was greeted immediately by the press by such headlines as "Tracy and Hepburn rekindle that old magic." And you may add to that the magic of Poitier's stature as today's hottest boxoffice star in such hits as "To Sir, With Love" and "In The Heat of the Night."
Nothing is more exciting than the birth of a new star. This, too, 18 going for "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," which presents to the screen Katharine Houghton, who in real life is Katharine Hepburn's niece, and who in many ways takes after her famous aunt. On film Houghton plays the role of Hepburn's daughter, a combination that has aroused the imagination of the public, as the press so often has noted.
"Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" is totally a love story but, the way William Rose (writer of "The Russians are Coming" and "Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World") has fashioned the screenplay, it is not like any other love story ever written. Rebellion against convention, the shattering of the norm an ingredient fascinating to younger film-goers underlies
the path along which our lovers skip.
