#164: In the Heat of the Night (1967) with Carla Renata

We're celebrating Sidney Poitier in a performance that should have garnered him an Oscar (but didn't even get a nomination), 1967's In the Heat of the Night. Guest Carla Renata joins Kristen and Emily as they discuss Poitier's performance, the lack of any real interest in this as a mystery, and who should have been kicked out of the nominations to make room for Poitier.


 
Kristen's written a book for TCM and Running Press called But Have You Read the Book? all about film adaptations! You can buy it wherever you buy books.
