In the Heat of the Night

This great Sidney Poitier thriller won best picture in 1967. At times it’s old fashioned, and at times it seems more risky and relevant than most contemporary movies. Rod Steiger nails his shape-shifting redneck police chief, never revealing where he truly stands on any issue. This movie must have been a cultural nuclear blast when it came out in the 60’s.
