Sidney Poitier has said that working with Rod Steiger taught him to reach deeper into himself for this performance. I'd seen Sidney Poitier before, but in this movie he was sizzling--and Rod Steiger was brilliant. In the Heat of the Night remains one of my all-time favorite movies.

Brilliant, deadpan funny and with rock solid acting from both Poitier and Steiger. The loaded pauses are part of what's so great about it: you really sense the tiredness of the CI, his wish to score a goal on Tibbs and the comic, humiliating reversal. Great movie.

Rod Steiger has stated (years after the film) that when his Police Chief character is chewing his gum fast, it shows he was confident and sure of himself. However when ever he stops chewing in a scene, It shows when he realizes he is wrong and Virgil is Correct! AWESOME to see it in the move countless times!

One of my top 10 films of all time with two fantastic actors at the peak of their talents. Can't say enough about the terrific Oscar winning screenplay by the great Stirling Silliphant too. It's provocative and a great microcosm of racism in the south during the turbulent 60's. "A colored can't earn that kind of money boy, hell that's more than I make in a month!! Now where did you earn it?!!!

The difference between movies in the 60s and now. Same scene: Then: Tibbs doing a slow burn. Quiet but seething. Keeps a civil tone but you can tell he is pissed. Now: Tibbs pissed off. Probably angrily answering the sheriff's questions. Probably tossing in a F-bomb or two. which would be the better movie?

The movie was made in 1967. Changing Virgil's hometown from Pasadena to Philadelphia was a brilliant decision; it pitted the North against the South and it allowed the film-makers to slip in a reference to Philadelphia, Mississippi, where three civil rights workers had been murdered in 1964.

Throughout this entire movie, there is not a SINGLE moment which does not stand alone as a way to tell/advance the story. Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger -- ESPECIALLY in this single scene -- do more acting, (often by using only facial expressions and hesitations) than I have seen from almost anyone else who has taken home an Oscar in many, many years. The use of linear lines, dark/light shadowing, etc.is also brilliant, but would have meant nothing without the perfect cast...and they did have the perfect cast!

@austinteutsch 8 жыл бұрын

+D Mill Amen. The perfect cast for sure. One of the most telling lines in the movie came from Mr. Poitier when he told the black store keeper "there is white time and there is colored time" . Back then that was so true. I just voted for Donald Trump because we're so deep in shit financially and he's the only choice to help end it. But I like Bernie Sanders idea of jail reform to stop putting blacks in jail for bullshit. A joint? A fight in the street? Come on. When I was growing up in the 60's and 70's if you had a joint, just a joint, they let you make it. And if you got in a fight, they separated you and told you to go home.

I also love the scene when Tibbs and Gillespie are up late talking and they realize they are both lonely and that their job is their whole life. Remember, Tibbs said 10 hours a day, 7 days a week when they first met. I wish that could of gone on just a tad longer before Pachy showed up.

Looking at Rod Steiger portray Gillespie its no wonder they had Carrol O'Conner play him on the TV show. Not only does O'Conner bear some physical resemblance to Steiger, Gillespie is almost parallel to Archie Bunker in that he starts off as an unlikeable bigot but his character starts to reveal that he's only a product of his environment and he's not a hard core hater/racist. Who better to play a 'sympathetic bigot' than the man who played another 'sympathetic bigot'. However I just don't feel that Harold Rollins portrayal of Virgil Tibbs measured up to Poitier's performance.
