Stanley Kramer's classic film will celebrate its 50th anniversary on Blu-ray in February.
As previously reported, Sony is preparing 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner: 50th Anniversary Edition' for Blu-ray on February 7.
Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn (who won the Academy Award(r) for Best Actress for her performance) are unforgettable as perplexed parents in this landmark 1967 movie about mixed marriage. Joanna (Katharine Houghton), the beautiful daughter of crusading publisher Matthew Drayton (Tracy) and his patrician wife Christina (Hepburn), returns home with her new fiance John Prentice (Sidney Poitier), a distinguished black doctor. Christina accepts her daughter's decision to marry John, but Matthew is shocked by this interracial union; the doctor's parents are equally dismayed. Both families must sit down face to face and examine each other's level of intolerance. In GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER, director Stanley Kramer has created a masterful study of society's prejudices.
Specs have yet to be revealed, but supplements include: Introductions by Tom Brokaw, Quincy Jones, Karen Kramer and Steven Spielberg; "A Love Story of Today" Featurette; "A Special Kind of Love" Featurette; Stanley Kramer: A Man's Search for Truth; 2007 Producers Guild of America "Stanley Kramer" Award Presentation to Al Gore; Stanley Kramer Accepts The Irving Thalberg Award; Photo Gallery; and Theatrical Trailer -- all in special Digibook packaging.
