In 1960’s America, racial tensions between black and white citizens manifested differently from the way they do today. This landmark film in American cinema addresses these tensions through the fictional story of a newly engaged couple; Joanna "Joey" Drayton, a white socialite, and the highly qualified Dr. John Prentice, a black man. When Joey returns from a holiday in Hawaii to introduce John to her liberal parents, Matt and Christina Drayton, their prejudices soon rise to the surface and when John’s parents also arrive to the dinner party, conversations around race, family and love become even more troubling to navigate. A much-discussed piece of cinema history which has influenced many more contemporary films that followed it, such as Jordan Peele’s Get Out, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner is a brilliant balance of comedy and drama which still resonates for many audiences today.
