Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (8/8) Movie CLIP - Two People Who Fell In Love (1967) HD

[@miroslavtomic7038]

Throughout his life, Spencer Tracy was very well-known for his strong anti-racism and many of the words his spoke in this scene actually reflected his real-life views on the subject.

[@pattymelt-go3fv]

Spencer Tracy died 17 days after the final scene was shot. Never lived to see it released and Hepburn refused to watch it because she said i would make her too sad. And when the film was begun shooting, it was still illegal in 17 states to intermarry.

[@jenniferl.6387]

*She knew he was going to die soon, and those tears were totally genuine.*

[@robertt6697]

I believe in this scene what makes it so powerful, is Spencer Tracy was really speaking about himself and katherine Hepburn in their relationship. The fact he was so sick at the time, and died soon after, to me those were real tears from Katherine Hepburn

[@missyadams]

they were real tears ;( she knew he was dying

[@joel8583]

:(

[@oldrocker74]

The camera closeups capture the emotions of this scene. Take note of the close-up of Katherine Hepburn's reaction after the speech!

[@williamjackson3285]

They are usually real tears. Actors use substitutions in their scenes to generate real emotion. She didn't have to substitute in this one because of the situation.

[@robertsmith3883]

Lol it wasn't at all about thier relationship..they made 9 movies together and had an open 27 year love affair

[@baileyprovance]

And to think these were Spencer Tracy's last words of his acting career before he died days later

[@kinmd]

This movie was shot in sequence, so Spencer’s last scenes with Hepburn were his last scenes. She pledged her salary when the studio talked about not dong the picture because they were afraid that Spencer would die before its completion

[@HolgerRuneFan]

Actually three and a half weeks.

[@ingriddubbel8468]

Weeks later. Don't be dramatic.

[@ajay999999]

Lucky they finished it

[@jamesamick2945]

So sad he didn't win an oscar, this speech alone was worthy of an oscar.

[@ToughXArmy69]

Spencer Tracy's magnificent speech is one of the great moments in cinema history. Kate Hepburn's reaction is priceless. Hepburn won the Oscar; Tracy should have too!

[@missyadams]

he won a posthumous BAFTA

[@contractmed1]

He SHOULD have! Spencer was one of the top three greatest actors of all time, and even to this day his death still makes me sad. Just imagine what he could have done if he was healthier in the 60s and alive in the 70s. I think he could have helped us through both decades with his signature grace and charm.

[@ingriddubbel8468]

If a man ever looked at me the way Spencer Tracy looked at Katherine Hepburn in this speach, I'd be blessed.

[@Malignus68]

Spencer Tracy never looked at Katherine Hepburn during this speech, not once. The young girl he's speaking to is not Katherine Hepburn.

[@sazzieb1]

@@Malignus68 This isn't the whole speech. Watch the picture then you'll realise🤔

[@miroslavtomic7038]

Katherine Hepburn's crying in this scene was not acting. She couldn't help herself since she knew her longtime partner didn't have much longer to live and this was like his goodbye to new generations. As we all know, Spencer Tracy died only 17 days after this movie was completed.

[@NiklasFranGoteborg]

Two people that love one another shold have every right to be together. Why is this so hard to get behind, even to this day.

Niklas Olsson When a man and a woman get married, all that matters are the kids they're going to have, in other words, a family!

[@stxa2594]

@@honestperson6280 Not intending to insult you but ... what nonsense. Are you actually implying that couples who fail to get children (due to infertility or any other reason) don't matter? Or gay couples, they don't matter either? This is not about FAMILIES but about people falling in love.

[@EmptyMan000]

@@stxa2594 Honestly it's a rule of thumb that either all consenting couples matter or none of them do. I am the latter camp of thought, but many are on the former but reality begs to differ.

[@michaeldean9338]

'Preachy', or not...One of the greatest scenes in cinematography. RIP, Mr.Tracy.

[@nina1522]

Earlier in this scene, Spencer was saying something about how his passion hadn't changed, and he gave Kate a very meaningful look, and her eyes well up. That was more than just acting, he was saying to her in that moment what he had been forced to keep secret from the world for decades- his love and passion for her.Knowing that gives this scene a deeper feeling.

[@lass-inangeles7564]

There is credible information that Kate was a lesbian, and Tracy was bisexual. The 'love affair' was a coverup for both of them leading gay lifestyles at a time when societal norms were strict and the LAPD Vice Squad destroyed lives and careers by exposing them to the press. Makes sense. What do we really know about private lives? So the 'meaningful look' you saw may have been a thank you for the cover up.

[@Dfcameron13]

There used to be a video on KZbin that captured the full speech - no one could do it like Tracy

[@crysdee461]

Lass-in Angeles how is that even necessary as a cover up when Tracy was married?

[@kylemiller3846]

That's actually why I came here I hate that it starts so late into the scene none the less great acting and a timeless message.

[@aresef]

Lass-in Angeles Tracy was married to someone else throughout the course of their long relationship. That was the extent to which the pair violated societal norms. As such, Hepburn skipped the funeral out of consideration for his family. But it makes the love they had for each other no less real.

[@renekackline2377]

This is one of the most moving and beautiful speeches I have ever heard! When the camera is on Hepburn and her eyes fill up with tears....OMG....it got to me. Brilliant performance!!!

[@Jake-vy2bh]

One of the greatest showcases of acting on film, that goes for the whole cast, and the screenplay is magnificent. I wish people wrote films like this nowadays.

[@許潤璋]

Spencer Tracy is a legend forever.

Love knows no race, love is love. More people should realise that

Realizing that doesn't affect the outcome..

[@geoffwilliams4478]

Love knows no gender either.

[@jamesamick2945]

This speech is absolutely powerful. It packs a massive punch every time i watch this film. Spencer knew he was gonna die soon and that this was his last speech, he should have gotten the oscar. Every race can use this speech 50 years later today to combat racism. You could tell this was not just a role to spencer tracy this was him giving a speech to america.

[@missyadams]

@@jamesamick2945 he did, posthumously. And well deserved.

[@sampras25]

[@bobina05]

[@STP43FAN1]

You need to show all five minutes of this scene right down to when he finally says “Well Tillie, when the hell are we going to have some dinner?” and all the tension in the room melts away.

[@mikeherrera91]

REST IN PEACE Sidney Poitier your lasting legacy will never be forgotten.

This doesn't just apply to interracial couples...

[@sainimitchell4224]

This was and still is one of the best movie dealing with racism. Love the cast👍

[@heru-deshet359]

He was only 67. He looked so old and wasted. He had heart disease, which must have aged him so and what actually did him in so early.

[@nizarosoko]

Heru- deshet not even 67 he was 62

[@joel8583]

He was born in 1900.

[@HolgerRuneFan]

He was also a rampant alcoholic for decades. That is surely what aged him so brutally. Still the finest screen actor in the English language ever.

[@LPJack02]

RIP Spencer Tracy (April 5, 1900 - June 10, 1967), aged 67 RIP Katherine Hepburn (May 12, 1907 - June 29, 2003), aged 96 RIP Sidney Poitier (February 20, 1927 - January 6, 2022), aged 94 You will always be remembered as legends.

[@mhaze210]

If this film came out today, it would still be meaningful... but this came out in 1967 shortly before MLK was assassinated (MLK is even mentioned in the movie). So this isn't just meaningful, or timely, this is LEGENDARY. This is an iconic moment in cinematic history... it is as if all the cast and crew were always meant to come together to tell this story.

[@mildredmartinez8843]

Yes. A legendary film. Touching on a subject that unfortunately is still alive today. It was filmed when the Civil Rights movement was fighting one of its greatest battles. Many paid heavy prices for the right to be considered humans. I still remember seeing dogs being thrown at protesters and fire hoses being thrown at people that would sweep them off the streets and crash them into buildings. And this film reminds me of that.

[@stxa2594]

The film may a bit slow in pace and a bit dated as well, but this ending is one of the most touching in film history.

[@rachelemenike]

RIP Sir Sidney Portier❤️

[@racheldrum1982]

This is painful to watch. Everybody on the set had to know Tracy was dying.

[@FreshRose-z3s]

Spencer Tracy. One of Hollywood's greatest actors.

[@tulayamalavenapi4028]

Good speech. I had forgotten about the conditions John put on getting married, so I was feeling like hey, you parents were two faced, showing happy support and friendliness in the beginning, then starting to analyze stuff...but it was the condition that made all that come about. What a classic. I came here after seeing the 2023 film "You People". Wikipedia says that was sort of a modern remake of this. Thanks.

Katherine Houghton, who played Joey in this movie, was actually real-life niece of Katherine Hepburn. They were often mistaken for being mother and daughter due to huge facial similarities that they shared.

[@corinnadrust8029]

[@miroslavtomic7038]

Kristina's wheeping in this scene was not scripted. Katherine Hepburn couldn't hold tears back during this scene due to knowing how ill Spencer was and that he didn't have long to live. As we all know, he died only 17 days after completing this movie.

[@nonyadamnbusiness9887]

The best scene in this movie was left out; the scene with Isabel Sanford.

[@alicefair3025]

Now personally, I believe that Sidney should have gotten bear actor award just for the private speech he gave his father. It is , to this day, one of the most profoundly foreword dialogues I have ever witnessed. Also, I am a very Caucasian woman of 70 years who strongly belied this discussion would have reached an end by now! Like Moses looking at the promised land, I don’t see it ending in my time. All I have now is the power to vote and my words.

Fun fact: The majority of Americans didn't support interracial marriage until 1995.

[@Aristocles22]

As much as I support the message, it really is a preachy movie. He might as well be standing on a soapbox.

[@yamlark]

yes it is, but probably thanks to such loud n preachy art 40 years ago now its normal to marry inter-racially in the US. when you are making a point against the norms of your time, you have to be more like a blacksmith and less like a goldsmith, if you know what i mean.

[@Aristocles22]

Maybe it was the culture of the time. A blunt message like that today wouldn't go over well, even if it was well-intentioned.

[@themisandristmisanthrope2713]

+Nonamearisto What? I don't see how any of this was preachy. That's the best advice you can give someone in a situation like this. This was made in a time when interracial marriages were extremely uncommon and illegal in many southern countries. Completely different context obviously.

[@chibilaichi]

He does seem a bit preachy. This movie, however, dates back to 1967 when civil rights and racial tensions were at an all time high. This was also just after Loving vs. Virginia, and just like Obergefell vs. Hodges, many people were appalled at such a thing as a marriage that is not "traditional." This movie was very much needed for its time to drive the last nail in the coffin on racism and oppression, so to speak. I'm honestly surprised that, after Obergefell vs. Hodges, there was not a movie about gay marriage, and if there was one, I must have missed it.

[@patgogan7324]

This was one of the first films to actually deal with the subject so I guess it can come off as preachy still dosent detract that the performances were amazing
