My Thoughts
In the Heat of the Night is a classic film coming to Blu-ray for the first time as part of the MGM 90th Anniversary celebration. Back in 1967, this movie won best picture and with good reason.
Sidney Poitier is a homicide detective from Philadelphia who finds himself investigating the murder of a businessman in the deep south. The African American detective is not well received by the local sheriff or the people, which makes solving the crime a lot more complicated. Eventually the sheriff overcomes his bigotry long enough to solve the crime.
In the Heat of the Night is a thrilling crime chase where anyone can be the killer and everyone is a suspect. But in addition to the thrills and chills, this movie also represents an important stand against bigotry in a time when it didn't often happen in film. This classic movie is one that should be in everyone's library.
