On February 20 1927 Sidney Poitier was born... so the theme for today are movies with Sidney Poitier-enjoy!
1 In the Heat of the Night (1967) Director Norman Jewison
Oscar Award winning film which tells the story of two men from very different backgrounds thrown together to solve a murder... Sidney Poitier is fantastic as big city detective, and Rod Steiger is also great as small town sheriff-Steiger won an Academy Award for his portrayal...
2 A Patch of Blue (1965) Director Guy Green
A blind girl befriends a man who attempts to help her escape her impoverished and abusive home. Stellar performance by Poitier as rescuer, Shelley Winters as the abusive mother, and Elizabeth Hartman as the girl. Elizabeth Hartman was nominated for an Academy Award, and Shelley Winters won an Oscar her her portrayal...
3 A Raisin in the Sun (1961) Director Daniel Petrie
Film adaptation of critically acclaimed play that tells the story of a struggling family who unexpectedly comes into money...
As I have seen all but one film from the above list (A Raisin in the Sun) I look forward to your feedback... enjoy!
