Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner is a 1967 award-winning bi-racial comedy movie starring Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Sidney Poitier, and Katharine Houghton.
The movie was about a young white American woman (Houghton) who went on a holiday to Hawaii where she had a whirlwind romance with a black doctor (Poitier); the two will marry and she will return with him to Switzerland. The bulk of the film deals with the daughter's return to her upper class American home bringing her new fiancé to dinner to meet her parents, and the discrimination that the family faces afterwards.
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner is also the name of a 1981 reggae album by Black Uhuru. The title track has a well known chorus that repeatedly asks "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" (and answers, "Natty Dreadlocks").
