Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

Upper class couple Matt Drayton (Spencer Tracy) and wife Christina (Katharine Hepburn) are lost for words when their daughter, Joey (Katharine Houghton), returns from her Hawaiian holiday with a fiance in tow. What shocks them is not so much that Joey is to wed, but that her proposed husband - research scientist John Prentice (Sidney Poitier) - is an African American. The Draytons have always believed themselves to be broad-minded, liberal people, but find their ideals put to the test when John says that the wedding will not go ahead without their whole-hearted approval.
