Great Classic
I’m a big fan of the tv show and love this classic film! Amazing how black people were treated in those days, so pathetic....
Sidney Poitier at his best! Call him MR TIBBS!
In “The Heat of the Night,” the two main characters, a Black Philadelphia Police Detective, and the small town Sheriff of Sparta, Mississippi struggle to understand each other’s social values as perceived through a different lens. The racial stereotypes and racial biases fuel the tensions between these two individuals, as they gradually learn to respect the humanity that exist between and within them.
