Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1967 American romantic comedy-drama film, directed by Stanley Kramer and starring Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn and Sidney Poitier, about the struggles of an affluent and outwardly-liberal San Francisco couple coming to grips with the fact that their daughter is suddenly — as in after meeting him just ten days earlier — engaged to a widowed African-American doctor.The film was the most successful of Kramer's films, and Tracy's last film. It was so successful that it even killed the old bugaboo of fearing the loss of Southern state cinemas for any film starring an African-American. It was remade (with a twist) in 2005 as Guess Who, with Ashton Kutcher, Bernie Mac and Zoe Saldaña.

Blatant Lies: The scene of Chris firing her racist employee is immediately followed by Joey telling Chris that she should fire the woman. Chris says that seems a bit harsh and that Joey gets her ruthless streak from her father.

Age-Gap Romance: It's downplayed compared with the racial difference, but John is 37 (and a widower) while Joey is 23.

Dutch Angle: There is a very random one in the scene where the maid, Tilly, tells John that he shouldn't marry Joanna. It's almost an example of Hitler Cam: John is much taller than Tilly and the angle is chosen so that they appear to the viewer as if they have the same height. The reason? Probably to show that Tilly isn't impressed by John (not even physically) and has no qualms and no fear to be harsh with him.
