Guess who's coming to dinner: Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn (who won the Academy Award as Best Actress for her performance) are unforgettable as perplexed parents in this landmark 1967 movie about mixed marriage. Joanna (Katharine Houghton), the beautiful daughter of a crusading publisher Matthew Drayton (Tracy), and his patrician wife Christina (Hepburn), returns home with her new fiancee, John Prentice (Sidney Poitier), a distinguished black doctor. Christina accepts her daughter's decision to marry John, but Matthew is shocked by this interracial union; and the doctor's parents are equally dismayed. Both families must sit down face to face and examine each other's level of intolerance. In 'Guess Who's Coming To Dinner', director Stanley Kramer has created a masterful study of society's prejudices. - Suddenly last summer: Elizabeth Taylor and Katharine Hepburn each received 1960 Oscar⌐ nominations for Best Actress in this gripping adaptation of the Tennessee Williams play. Beautiful Catherine Holly (Elizabeth Taylor) is committed to a mental institution after witnessing the horrible death of her cousin at the hands of cannibals. Catherine#s aunt, Violet Venable (Katharine Hepburn), tries to influence Dr. Cukrowicz (Montgomery Clift), a young neurosurgeon, to surgically end Catherine#s haunting hallucinations. By utilizing injections of sodium pentothal, Dr. Cukrowicz discovers that Catherine#s delusions are in fact true. He then must confront Violet about her own involvement in her son#s violent death
