Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967)

In the heart of San Francisco, Joanna "Joey" Drayton, a free-spirited daughter of prominent parents, returns from a Hawaiian vacation with an exciting yet unexpected revelation. She brings home her fiancé, Dr. John Prentice, a distinguished widower who's earned his stripes in the world of medicine and is poised to embark on a mission with the World Health Organization in Geneva. However, the couple's impending union stirs a simmering pot of societal tension, as Dr. Prentice is a Black man and Joey is white. The family home, nestled amidst the city's bustling culture, becomes a battleground of ideologies as they prepare for a significant dinner. Christina Drayton, the matriarch who breathes life into an art gallery, and her husband Matt, the influential editor of The Guardian newspaper, are forced to confront their own concealed prejudices. Raised in the liberal environment crafted by her parents, Joey's engagement shakes the family's liberal foundation to its core. To further complicate this emotionally charged atmosphere, the couple invites Dr. Prentice's parents to join the dinner. Unaware of Joey's ethnicity, they fly from Los Angeles, carrying their vehement disapproval of the relationship across the Californian skies. The dinner table, once a symbol of familial harmony, now serves as the stage for an intense exploration of race, love, and acceptance. Also joining this unfolding drama is the family's friend, Monsignor Ryan, whose liberal views are tested against the backdrop of this unexpected revelation. As day melts into night, the families grapple with the challenges of their children's choices, weaving a tapestry of emotions, beliefs, and surprises. "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" is a compelling exploration of love, color lines, and the courage to cross them, all set against the backdrop of a dinner that is anything but ordinary.
