1967 - In The Heat Of The Night: "They Call Me Mister Tibbs"


1967 Best Picture Winner

Premiered August 2, 1967 in New York

Budget $2 Million

Gross N/A

This is the first movie with a strong social message. It took a firm stand against racism and it got its point across. The movie held our attention for the entire duration and we were kept guessing until the very end of the movie. We were pleasantly surprised by the entire experience.

Joel
Favorite: I thought that Sidney Poitier did a great job as Tibbs.
Least Favorite: The music was very sixties-ish. It prevented the movie from being timeless.

Callie
Favorite: It had a feeling of suspense thriller that was fun.
Least Favorite: There was a hokey vibe about it: the music was bad and some of the acting was a little hokey.
