A couple's attitudes are challenged when their daughter introduces them to her African American fiancée in this classic Oscar-winning drama starring Katharine Hepburn, Sidney Poitier and Spencer Tracy.
When Joanna Drayton (Katharine Houghton), a free-thinking white woman, and black doctor John Prentice (Poitier) become engaged, they travel to San Francisco to meet her parents. Matt Drayton (Tracy) and his wife Christina (Hepburn) are wealthy liberals who must confront the latent racism the coming marriage arouses. Also attending the Draytons' dinner are Prentice's parents (Roy E. Glenn Sr., Beah Richards), who vehemently disapprove of the relationship.

Variety
Variety"A wishy-washy, sanctimonious plea for tolerance, directed with Kramer's customary verbosity and stodginess."
—
Time Out
Time Out"A most delightfully acted and gracefully entertaining film."

The New York Times
The New York Times"It would be easy to tear the plot to shreds and catch Kramer in the act of copping out. But why? On its own terms, this film is a joy to see, an evening of superb entertainment."
