Movie Reviews of In the Heat of the Night
Movie Review: The Performance Really Make This A Can't Miss
Summary: 5 Stars
Every once in a while does a movie come along that's not only intelligent but thought provoking and it really makes you take a look at government. This is one of those films. The movie itself spawned a wonderful TV show but the movie is by far one of the can't misses of cinema.
It's so much more than the detective story it gets labeled as. And it boasts two of the best performances imaginable.
The commentary on the disc is a good one. Pretty informative.This is a definite recommended movie from me.
Highly recommended.
Movie Review: Vintage classic 60's film on racial tensions with superb acting.
Summary: 5 Stars
In The Heat Of The Night (1967) Rod Steiger and Sydney Poitier team up in study of racial politics set in a sleepy Southern town. Steiger won an Oscar as the prejudiced lawman who begins to question his own motives after being outclassed by Poitier during a difficult murder investigation. Watch closely as Steiger's Chief Gillespie evolves from the racist bigot that he never truly was to a man who trusts a "colored" enough to pour out his alcoholic-soiled soul. Warren Oates and Lee Grant also merit notice in equally strong supporting roles.Movie Review: The racial issue in its boiling point!
Summary: 5 Stars
In those sorrowful of racial segregation, this film was finally the final result of a significtaive number of previous works concerned with this issue.
Norman Jewison directed this compelling and intriguing plot around a homicide and a black detective who will undertake a careful analysis around this dark murder.
Rod Steiger as the sheriff of that little village is flawless. There are not fissures along the way and the suspense runs paralel the horrid drama.
Recommended without any restriction.
Movie Review: CLASSIC POITIER FILM THAT INSPIRED THE TV SERIES!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw "They Call Me Mr. Tibbs" as a kid in the theater. I never saw this film and didn't realize "They Call Me Mr. Tibbs" was a sequel to this film then. I also didn't know that the TV show was based on this movie when it was first run. This Academy Award winning movie is a bit different than the show, but the basic concept is there. Poitier and Steiger are terrific in this film about a murder case and raciam in the south. The DVD transfer is very good.Movie Review: Outstanding Classic Film
Summary: 5 Stars
Great exploration of the ways things were in the 1960's Southern United States. One of the best performances that can be found from both Rod Stieger and Sidney Poitier. The film leaves the viewer with an uneasy or uncertain feeling that despite the positive results from the joint investigation, things return to the way they were as soon as Virgil Tibbs leaves town again. A great viewing experience.
