Amen

Rod Steiger won the Academy Award, but Sidney Poitier deserved a best actor nomination.

@@MichaelMcKenzeyrod deserved the Oscar. Sidney already had one.

The funny thing is in Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner the same year she played his mother.

@@dan2007kohn Beah did what she could with that role but the girl who played Sidney Poitier's bride was SUCH a ditz she ruined the whole film. I kept wondering why this distinguished U.N. official PHD etc. etc. would pair up with this ditz (she was Katherine Hepburn's niece).

I always thought she had a sweet face and voice.

@@abdul7591 True, but she was an airhead.

Using the same adjective (ditz) in two consecutive sentences shows that you have but a very feeble grasp of the English language.

Why cognoscente call him "'MISTER' Tibbs."

He was a seasoned cop from Philly 👍🏾

In that town Ralph was a mastermind. He was the Foul Owl on the Prowl.

Beah Richards was in "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner"?

You both are correct..an Isabel Sanford played the maid.

@@315majestic Yeah...we don't look alike. Beah Richards played the mother. Isabel Sanford was the maid.

She also played Dr Benton's mother in ER.

🙂 that is correct!

+marantz7 Can we agree on of the best I mean the the 1960's gave us "The Misfits", "The Apartment", "Goldfinger", "Pshyco", "Buillit", "Thomas Crown Affair", as well as this film and Poitier two classics released the same year "To Sir With Love" and "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner"?

Cartoon-like!

Yeah, oh yeah.

Reminds me ofKramer coming into Jerry’s apartment.

@@kaischmidt8030 Perhaps this scene is where Kramer got it.

Striking action.

1968 was a force of good movies and their performances. At least Jewison was nominated for best director

It can't and it shouldn't, but you know some idiot's gonna try.

Don't be surprised

2199 ...amen, it’s terrible enough as-is

Interesting, but I think that in a real situation, just as Purdy arrived there, he would be greedy to ask to his sister what she was doing too late at night away from home together with a strange. It would be a total mess.

@@albertdumont4977 True but that would be after he beat Virgil to death and even then she still might have been able to feed him some bs excuse.

Everyone has standards. All of Purdy's rage was over his sister getting pregnant and others knowing about it, especially in such a small community. He was furious about Virgil hearing Deloris' account more than anything, and Virgil directing Purdy's attention to Ralph was sharp, too. Ralph was literally holding the smoking gun, right in front of a posse who all paused at the same time to think with Purdy. Racism is despicable, but rape is something else entirely and all the rednecks in this scene agreed on that. And if Ralph knocked-up one girl under-age, what was his case for not doing the same to somebody else?

I grew up in Louisiana in the late 60s, and I had the same flashbacks!

Yep. I grew up in rural South Carolina and I used to go in stores like this. I worked on a farm too, talk about hot as H in the summer!

I think she's also in the Miracle Worker with Patty Duke.

she was. @@dinellewatson1507

She was a drug rehab counselor in the Drugstore Cowboy also.

She also appeared on Sanford and Son a couple of times.

Great is a term that is thrown around nowadays, but she truly was. "People round here call me Mama Caleba." Watching this scene between to greats is incredible.

"You turned my little sistah...into a field slut?"

That Are you gin drunk is an amazing line.

I knew a brother from the deep South when we in Vietnam with the Marines. He used to say, "He was pissy ass drunk."

And THAT even includes the juke box and radio songs including that incredibly creepy 'Owl on the Prowl' which they wrote just for the movie!

Thanks for the info 👍🏾

And Ray Charles sang the theme song

i grew up in Denmark..and i love this movie

that smell......it never leaves you.

Sure, where do you this was filmed? It wasn't Hollywood.

Donkey Slayer Rural Ill. as Sidney wanted no part of the south at such a dangerous time , with the exception of the brief scene of the two stars driving through a cotton field which was filmed in Tenn.

..you think..you should try blk and white.. ..not ready for auteur yet.. ..there's still hope!!

still murder-----aren't you glad your folks didn't abort you!

@@marantz7783 Sad truth for pro- life believers, but the busiest and most enthusiastic abortionist of all eternity is none other than God itself who, as the data shows, decides daily that not all human life is precious or worthy of his protection. In the year 2000, 19 million Godly abortions, aka “miscarriages”, took place worldwide. About 80% of miscarriages occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy (the first trimester). The underlying cause in about half of cases involves chromosomal abnormalities which usually occur when there is an error in cell division-God is not inerrant after all. These Godly abortions approximate to one in every 10 pregnancies. In developing countries like Latin America and the Caribbean alone, it is estimated that 3.7 million Godly abortions take place each year. Each year also finds Africa *(The Most Religious Part Of World),* with the highest ratio- 4.2 million Godly abortions are estimated to take place; and that ratio is 22 per 1,000 women. This estimates to one Godly abortion per seven live births. *Worse yet, it is unknown just how many fertilized eggs never even attach to the wall and are flushed out of a woman’s body like some kind of toxic waste.* Godly abortions are also common among *parous* (having given birth one or more times.) women; 43% of parous women report having experienced one or more first trimester Godly abortions, rising to 81% among women with 11 or more living children. One in every 17 parous women has had three or more Godly abortions. *A slim 60% chance of success is no magical miraculous moment that life begins.* Clearly it is undeniable; God does not always vote for life as miscarriage and stillbirth have made mourners of as many women as elective abortion has, and so *He must also condone earthly abortions too* since He consistently *fails* to prevent any of them from happening.

I watch these clips daily... repeat the lines all the time to my workmates...

This film and Hombre with Paul Newman.

One of the five best of all time. It is that good.

Anthony James. Monster character actor. He is retired from acting. Does occasional voice-over work. He Paints and has had his work shown in galleries in NY and SF. I think he has had a book of his artwork published.

Also in High Plains Drifter.

Yea he ran Greeley's saloon. First one Clint shot when he came in.He shot an unarmed man.Should have armed himself.

Only here to see who recognized Skinny.

I think he's double declutching due to weak or absent synchromesh.

this was filmed in Illinois.

There is a mobile home there now. The grocery store was owned by Joe DeAngelo and had closed before the movie was made. Even so, they had to give it a more run down appearance for the movie. You can read about this in "Searching for Sparta" available on lulu.com.

Only if you stayed after dark

I think this one is a 1960

Yep and Christine is a '58. Well, truly a '57 but in the end they were all '58's lol

Actually Bea Richards, as noted above.

@@azmike3572 Sorry, I've been watching the Golden Girls....Thank you.

That's why so many people are sneaking out, eh?

Which is actually the next movie for both of them.

In this film, "Mama" is an ironic name for an abortionist.

Sounds Jamaican.
