Page 4 July 24 - 30, 2023 "Blackboard Jungle" (1955): Since he later would play one of the screen's most famous educators, it's ironic that Poitier had one of his first hits playing a student in this tense classroom tale. "A Raisin in the Sun" (1961): Poitier rises to the occasion, as do his co-stars, in the adaptation of Lorraine Hansberry's classic play about a family's sudden windfall. "Lilies of the Field" (1963): Poitier became the first Afri- can-American to win the best actor Oscar for his portrayal of a handyman who reluctantly helps a group of nuns build a chapel. "A Patch of Blue" (1965): Poitier and Elizabeth Hartman are heartbreakingly wonderful in this drama of a blind woman and the man who befriends her. "The Slender Thread" (1965): Sydney Pollack ("Out of Africa") made his feature-film directing debut with this tense tale of a crisis center worker's (Poitier) attempt to save a suicidal woman (Anne Bancroft) via telephone. "To Sir, With Love" (1967): Poitier had a hit-after-hit mov- ie year that started with his memorable portrayal of a novice teacher dealing with a classroom of London toughs. "In the Heat of the Night" (1967): The screen truly sizzled from the teaming of Poitier and Rod Steiger as lawmen with very different methodologies in this Oscar-winning crime drama. Turner Classic Movies shows the film Wednesday, July 26, as part of the concluding night of its "The South on Film" series. "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" (1967): Capping a year that any performer would cherish having, Poitier worked with screen legends Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn in this comedy-drama about an interracial marriage-to-be. Katha- rine Houghton, Hepburn's niece, played the intended bride. "For Love of Ivy" (1968): Though it often isn't included on lists of his prime projects, this comedy-drama features a wonderfully romantic Poitier as a suitor enlisted to help a family keep their highly valued maid (Abbey Lincoln). "Uptown Saturday Night" (1974): Poitier began a se- ries of successful "buddy comedies" as both director and — with Bill Cosby and Harry Belafonte — star of this high-spirited story of the race to recover a stolen winning lottery ticket. bestof ...
