CL RECOMMENDS
CL Critic Curt Holman Recommends: A Philadelphia police detective (Sidney Poitier) reluctantly works with a Mississippi sheriff (Rod Steiger) to solve a murder in this 1967 Best Picture Oscar winner. One of the iconic roles of the late Sidney Poitier, the film has local interest for its TV adaptation, which became a cornerstone of Georgia television production in the 1980s and 1990s. — CH
From the venue:
While traveling in the Deep South, Virgil Tibbs (Sidney Poitier), a black Philadelphian homicide detective, becomes unwittingly embroiled in the murder investigation of a prominent businessman. Finding the killer, however, proves difficult when his efforts are constantly thwarted by the bigoted town sheriff (Rod Steiger). But neither man can solve this case alone. Putting aside their differences and prejudices, they join forces in a desperate race against time to discover the shocking truth.In the Heat of the Night (1967) | 10/16/2022 7:00 PM
