Patrick Hadfield

I'm watching In The Heat Of The Night. I must have seen it before but I have no recollection of it, although clearly much of it is familiar from other sources.

It's an excellent movie. Sidney Poitiers is superb. So cool. Rod Steiger is also superb. And as cool as racist rednecks can be.

And the soundtrack is also excellent. By Quincy Jones, no less. Lots of jazz and blues.

@patrickhadfield
a fantastic movie with a legendary performance by #SidneyPoitier, even though #RodSteiger won the Oscar for best actor (and the #film the #Oscar for best movie of 1967…)

@wigbert @patrickhadfield 'The slap heard around the world'. A film that bears watching many times.

@CableSt @wigbert that's a powerful scene even now, despite having seen that clip so many times and therefore knowing exactly what was coming!
