I was a child when I watched this movie but I always admired Sidney Poitier and it's like that until today :-) It's a charming movie with a nice message! My most favorite movie with him is "Guess who's coming to dinner". Very important as message.. very charming.. with beautiful actors! The world today seems to be different in a sad way. But we don't stop having a dream... Let's built together a better, peaceful, free world for all of us! No more wars, racism and cruelty against nature, animals and people. May this planet and it's creatures be protected and blessed by light and love. - @Sunday, March 5, 2017 8:54 PM
