While traveling in the Deep South, Virgil Tibbs (Sidney Poitier), a black Philadelphian homicide detective, becomes unwittingly embroiled in the murder investigation of a prominent businessman. Finding the killer, however, proves difficult when his efforts are constantly thwarted by the bigoted town sheriff (Rod Steiger). But neither man can solve this case alone. Putting aside their differences and prejudices, they join forces in a desperate race against time to discover the shocking truth.

Always loved Sidney Poitier, the first time probably being when I was about ten and my older sister took me to the movies on the bus towatch ''A Patch of Blue." I was so in awe. ''In the Heat of the Night" is wonderful viewing. Thank you, Sidney Poitier. 💙☮️🕊️💕🕊️💙

Greatest line, at that time, spoken by a man of color, to a man of no color. We, in my neighborhood, loved every bit of this movie. Especially the slap return, later in the movie.❤😂

Probably one of the greatest cinematic scenes of all times that slap return. It's definitely top 3 in my book.

My parents are both born in the early 40s my mum scottish and white , my dad grenadine and black , they married in the early 60s. One of my mum’s favourite films was to sir with love and that’s how I came across Mr Poitier has an actor. My 1980s born self never really appreciated his acting skills till I was older , or the fact he was ahead of his time back then, I always used to think they were boring old fart films. I matured like Mr Tibbs and see depth in everything now.

"Not that it would make any difference". What did Tibbs mean to say by that ?

They had a suspect that the chief just knew was guilty. Tibbs believed he was innocent. If if the FBI analysis came back the suspect was innocent, the chief would make sure he was convicted.
