Guess Who's Coming to Dinner -- Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy star as parents perplexed about their daughter's engagement to a black doctor.

George C. Scott stars as a sleazy, drunken roustabout who has no scruples, ambitions, or decency. Faye Dunaway co-stars as a mean-spirited lady who owns a small piece of land which features a towering hill upon which she has constructed a derrick to wildcat for oil. Dunaway grudgingly accepts Scott's assistance in helping her fend off the land-grabbing Jack Palance.

An assassin is released from prison early, on condition that he make one last assassination. An assassination is about to take place; the target: the most powerful man in the Western World. The assassin is Roy Tucker, in prison for killing the sadistic husband of Ellie Riggens, the woman he loves. Tucker is promised freedom by Tagge in exchange for an undetermined favour. Tucker agrees and flies to Central America where he pursues his dreams and marries Ellie. Then Tucker is told to repay his favour by assassinating a powerful national figure. He refuses. Tagge takes Ellie captive and threatens to kill her unless Tucker carries out the assignment. Tucker tries to pull a fast one, but a back-up assassin hits the mark, and Ellie is killed. Now Tucker has to fight. This one's for real; and the result is explosive, pulse-pounding, action-adventure.

Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn (who won the Academy Award® 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.
