What a ridiculous, pretentious scene. The "white" lady has to be fired because she has trouble with a black man marrying a white woman. She's the only one being honest. So pretentious!
Gosh! i wish every body in the whole world has as much sense as she does, when it comes to hating another because of the color of their skin. the world would be a much better place . hate is sooooooooooo ugly and so are those who do hate.
i had never listened to the dialogues in english (italian voices in this movies are amazing!) but there are phrases that could never be translated in their efficacy.
You know, my grandmother and grandfather in Grenada had their own "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" experience. My grandfather's Indian while my grandmother came from an all-white community with no coloured blood in her veins. Her decision to marry my grandfather and vice versa was very controversial on both sides and they could've lost their families and friends, but they were brave and the marriage went through and now they've been living happily ever after for over fifty years.
This clip is one of the prime reasons that the film HAD to be made -- to give people an overview of who their friends REALLY are, and of course, to empower people and society to be tolerant.
Join me in wishing a happy 40th anniversary to a well-crafted classic movie.
(Incidentally, from the trailers I have seen on the so-called remake starring Bernie Mac --FORGET IT! Mr. Mac could not hold a candle to the original players).
I think it's a stretch to call it a 'remake'. The same premise reversed yes -- but beyond that, the differences are just too numerous. Quite franky, I think they wanted you to know where the inspiration for the new movie came from -- but not to directly compare the two movies.
For those of you who have seen the movie, did you notice that K. Hepburn was crying when Spence was giving his monologue at the end? She shed real tears, I think, because this was to be Spence's last movie and both knew it. What can I add to this ..
Katherine knew it was Spencer's last film. I am amazed at the control both had to create such an outstanding performance. I have watched this film many times and plan to watch it many more times. I hope the younger generation of the 80's to now, can learn from watching this film.
we just studied clip in my college screen writing class. Its so different from movies of today. I think its a bit closer to theatre than todays movies.
Movies of before had dialog that enriched and continued the storyline of the movie. There was no need for obscene language to show emotion. Look hard enough and you will see that the actors listened to each other and showed movement without words. We didn't need special effects as what is used more nowadays instead of good writing.
This is a fine example for my people(Black, Negroes,Colored Whatever we are called now ?) to stop using the excuse that "the man/woman" is keeping us down. For a great actress of her stature to accept a roll like this (in this era) She may have suffered "the cold shoulder" from some of her friends/peers. All White people don't hate us. Love yourselves ! Earn respect ! Don't forget to :)
No, you are quite correct -- all white people DON'T hate us. However, the playing field is nowhere NEAR level -- though it is better. And, please remember that Ms. Hepburn probably didn't give a second thought (or a first for that matter) as to what her friends or peers would think about her doing this picture.
Ms. Hepburn's self confidence came through in her roles. She was not a product of the prejudices of the times, she rose above them. I think she was a prime example of leadership although she would have been the first to laugh at that opinion.
This is Hepburn's most brilliantly underplayed performance. Although the big scenes are mostly thrown toward Poitier and Tracy, she impacts every aspect of this production, like the morality in a morality play. She should have won in '40 and '62, so the naysayers should just relax and love this woman's craft and power.

It's not pretentious at ALL. Hilary is insulting Christina's daughter...you would stand up for your child the same way.

Everybody knows that she only won because Spencer Tracy died, the Oscar should've been either Anne Bancroft's or Edith Evans's.
