Plot Summary: Spencer Tracy and
Katharine Hepburn play a couple whose attitudes are challenged when their
daughter brings home a fiancé who is black.
The answer to that question is, your new son-in-law's parents. A wealthy
white family is informed that their daughter's intended is coming to meet
them, and he's black. Scripted in the late 60s, the idea of a bi-racial
marriage was still fairly shocking. To smooth this over, the son-in-law to
be is a prince. He's a Doctor who lives in Switzerland and intends to take
their daughter there to live. Set in California, it's not quite a return to
Selma, Alabama, but was controversial in its day. |
