A film made 55 years ago that's almost as applicable today as it was at the time of its release. I haven't seen enough Sidney Poitier films but he's on point with his portrayal of Dr. John Prentice: he's extremely thoughtful and well mannered, humble, educated, respectful, etc. Meanwhile his finance (played by the lovely 22-year-old Katharine Houghton, niece of star Katharine Hepburn), Christina is a strong willed and free spirited young woman. Both sets of parents are extremely old fashioned in their thinking (although having grown up in difficult times themselves, who are we to judge by today's standards?), in particular both fathers. An obvious social commentary tale about acceptance, beliefs, and predisposed dispositions. 7/10
