[Dr. Sivana]

‘In the Heat of the Night’ comes to mind. That was in 1967.

Same year, "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner"? Besides the all too perfect Sidney Poitier (who was just fine in "Lilies of the Field") even a bit part black character irritates Spencer Tracy, a west coast publishing magnate who drives a Dodge Dart bumping into a black fellow driving an MG. "In the Heat of the Night" also won an undeserved Best Picture Academy Award (over "The Graduate", "Bonnie and Clyde", "Dr. Doolittle" and "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner") showing there is praise to be earned for being P.C.

1967 was a landmark year for American movies. My personal favorite is ‘Point Blank’ with Lee Marvin. ‘Heat’ was a non daring way of being daring.
