Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, Bad Day at Black Rock

Spencer Tracy Double Feature

Didn't pay much attention but sat through Guess Who's Coming to Dinner last night. The daughter seemed like kind of an idiot. Did Sidney Poitier, playing a hyper-accomplished doctor, really want to be saddled with her?

After this, watched Bad Day at Black Rock again. The Jui-Jitsu fight seems less plausible every time I see it. No one owned a handgun they could lend to Spencer Tracy? He just had to shoot three people who were always together. I've always liked the movie and I shouldn't be slamming it.

It might have been interesting if the roles had been reversed----a guy who had been 4F fighting a bunch of combat veterans.
