Last night I watched this amazing film which came out in 1967 about a white woman and a black man who want to marry and the objections that their parents have. It stars Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, and Sydney Poitier. And can I just say WOW about the level of writing and acting in this film. Incredible. A few of the scenes were particularly memorable. The following is a rather humorous monologue that Katharine Hepburn reads to her soon-to-be-former employee. She is complete and utter grace in her anger. I want to be exactly like her when I grow up.
This clip is the most famous, I think, in the movie. Sydney Poitier's father is explaining to his son why he didn't work so hard his whole life just to have his son marry a white woman and Sydney answers back with a speech that is...just...words fail it, really. Watch his part, if nothing else.
