I watched it a while back. Sydney Poiter's daughter starred in Grindhouse. What was kinda weird. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is another great one from around the same era. Great movie..

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is another great one from around the same era.

Many issues that would likely be handled today in a cruder manner (<a href="http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/features/homevideo/20050802-9999_dvd148.html" rel="nofollow">I think it has already occured?</a>) Yes, that is worth mentioning that the housekeeper and also John’s parents are skeptical of the union. Many issues that would likely be handled today in a cruder manner (I think it has already occured?)

Her automatic dislike of Prentice always reminded me of the British TV series "Upstairs Downstairs" where the servants seemed to cling to the whole class structure even harder than the "upperclass" they worked for. I just love this movie and I don't think the issues raised in it are likely to become incomprehensible for some time yet. Even without the racial issues, there is the whole shock of the whirlwind romance, the parents realising that their daughter is no longer a little girl and that they in turn are growing old, the awkwardness of meeting the future in-laws, and also the comfortable groove (sometimes rut) that marriages inevitably settle in to. It's always refreshing to watch an intelligent movie in a sea of toilet humour comedy.
