Guess Who's Coming to Dinner is a 1967 film directed by Stanley Kramer. The movie explores the topic of interracial relationships during a time where it was taboo. Matt and Christina Drayton, a liberal, upper-middle-class white couple living in San Francisco, are pleasantly surprised when their daughter, Joanna, announces that she is engaged to a black man, Dr. John Prentice. Despite their initial disbelief and hesitation, the couple agrees to meet John and his parents for dinner.
As the night progresses, tensions rise as the couples discover more about each other's backgrounds and ideals. Matt and Christina's liberal attitudes are put to the test as they face their own preconceived notions and prejudices. Throughout the evening, they each grapple with their own fears and uncertainties.
The film features an all-star cast, including Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn as Matt and Christina, Sidney Poitier as Dr. John Prentice, and Katharine Houghton as Joanna. The movie was widely praised for its exploration of race relations and won multiple awards, including two Academy Awards for Best Actress (Katharine Hepburn) and Best Original Screenplay.
