Product Description

Starring Academy AwardÂ(r) winners* Sidney Poitier, Rod Steiger and Lee Grant, this provocative mystery thriller won** five 1967 OscarsÂ(r), including Best Picture. Highlighted by an evocative score from OscarÂ(r)-winning*** composer Quincy Jones, In The Heat Of The Night is a "powerful film" (The New York Times) that delivers the "highest level of exciting entertainment" (New York Daily News)! While traveling in the Deep South, Virgil Tibbs, a black Philadelphia homicide detective, becomes unwittingly embroiled in the murder investigationof a prominent businessman when he is first accused of the crimeand then asked to solve it! Finding the killer proves to be difficult, however, especially when his efforts are constantly thwarted by the bigoted town sheriff (Steiger). But neither man can solve this case alone. Putting aside their differences and prejudices, they join forces in a desperate race against time to discover the shocking truth. *Poitier: Actor, Lilies of the Field (1963); Steiger: Actor, In the Heat of the Night (1967); Grant: Supporting Actress, Shampoo (1975) **Actor (Steiger), Adapted Screenplay, Editing, Sound ***1994: Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award

1967...an auspicious year...

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2003

Verified Purchase

"In the Heat of the Night" won the Oscar for Best Picture of 1967. I was a Freshman in college that year, and all the talk was about "Bonnie and Clyde", a great film. "The Graduate" was doing the art-house circuit, and wasn't widely seen at the time. "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" was, at the time, considered ostentatious (a rich Black man marrying the daughter of a rich White couple...how shocking!); the fifth nominee that year was Rex Harrison's "Doctor Dolittle", but I don't want to talk about that. I find that, 25 years later, I pull out "In the Heat of the Night" to get my kicks from brilliant film-making, as well as good suspense and fine acting and direction. This was Norman Jewison's first nomination for Direction, and not his last. Some say he lost it to Mike Nichols for "The Graduate" because Nichols probably should've won for his debut film effort, "Virginia Woolf?".Maybe. Some say Rod Steiger won his acting Oscar because he lost in '65 for "The Pawnbroker". I doubt it. In my humble opinion, this was Steiger's penultimate role, a man who is so sure of himself, yet is taken down a peg by someone better. He will never show his insecurity, though you know it's there. I also believe, after watching this often, that Steiger's Gillespie is NOT racist, merely dealing with a racist environment. It's mentioned that he's the new sheriff, but it never says where he came from. This is good, because Steiger starts from scratch, builds a compelling character, shows a bit of lack-of-control, and it makes him nervous an wonderfully vulnerable. His mind is usually open. Virgil teaches him; hence, whatever happens later can only be for his benefit. Great characters. Poitier was in 3 good films in 1967: this one, "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner", "To Sir, With Love". I'm sure that, when nomination time came, his votes were divided. For this reason alone, I think he would've won. The performances of Lee Grant, Quentin Dean and Scott Wilson (he was in "In Cold Blood" that year) were stellar. The great old gospel singer, Jester Hairston, also had a small role; he dubbed the singing for Poitier's Oscar winning role in "Lilies of the Field" ("Amen!"). Interesting stuff! Sterling Silliphant's screenplay won the Oscar hands-down, a riveting narrative of a complicated book. The greatest thing about Steiger's performance is that you know nothing about him or his background when the film begins, or even when it's over. What you know is that he's stuck in a place he doesn't like and no one likes him; there are suggested gay overtones, especially when he's in his home and he and Virgil talk about loneliness. It's quite profound when he doesn't get the answer he wants. There's also the great Beah Richards, in a small cameo, as Mama Kaleba; a sweet but nonetheless reprehensible character; she was nominated that year for "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner", as Poitier's wonderfully heart-broken mother, a fine performance. Yes, 1967 was a great year. "The Graduate" broke a few barriers; "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" broke some, and, certainly, "Bonnie & Clyde" made bad guys look good. Don't forget Richard Brooks' "In Cold Blood"...A great year, but I still think "In the Heat of the Night" is the film I prefer to watch.

One of 3 excellent Sidney Poitier films in 1967! One of the 100 best films ever!

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2014

Review of the film - "In the Heat of the Night" has a lot going for it including (1) Best Picture of 1967 (both Oscar and Golden Globe), (2) Great mystery that will keep you guessing, (3) Moving performances by Sidney Poitier, Rod Steiger (Oscar and Golden Globe winner), and others (see below), (4) Sharp and intelligent dialogue (written by Stirling Silliphant, winner of Oscar and Golden Globe for adapted screenplay), Precise and methodical direction (by Norman Jewison, nominated for Oscar and Golden Globe), Memorable music score by Quincy Jones (Grammy nominee), (6) Mostly shot on location in and around Sparta, Illinois (not in Sparta, Mississippi where the story is set) with many places still findable including the bridge where Rod Steiger slowly chases down the suspect, Harvey Oberst! The Chester Bridge across the Mississippi River connects Chester, Illinois and Perryville, Missouri. (7) Many memorable lines by Poitier and Steiger that have become part of film history including "They call me, Mister Tibbs!". (8) Other performances are also noteworthy by Lee Grant, Warren Oates, Larry Gates (the recipient of "The Slap!"), Beah Richards (always wonderful), Quentin Dean ("Delores", seen nicely through a window with strategically placed mullions!), and Scott Wilson (As the aforementioned suspect chased down slowly by Rod Steiger, this was Scott Wilson's first film role. Scott is best known today for his charismatic role as "Hershel Greene" in "The Walking Dead"! You've come a long way, Scott! "In the Heat of the Night" truly is a classic as are both of Sidney Poitier's other 1967 films: "To Sir With Love" and "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner".

Review of the Blu-ray disc - It provides the best viewing of "In the Heat of the Night" yet! I have the VHS tape and earlier DVD discs and the Blu-ray is nearly perfect. The colors and the sound have never appeared or sounded better. It is also the best wide screen version I have ever seen including the original screenings in Atlanta in 1967. Extras for films that are this old (47 years!) are not always available or of very good quality. The ones included here are not new (I do not think) but they have not (to my knowledge) been available before. All are enjoyable.

Für die Überwindung von Vorurteilen

Reviewed in Germany on June 13, 2023

Verified Purchase

Ganz wichtig zu Anfang: die BD ist zwar ein UK-Import, jedoch kann der Film auf deutsch geschaut werden!
Und dieser Film ist ein echter Klassiker und eine Ode an die Toleranz und die Überwindung von Vorurteilen. Sidney Poitier und Rod Steiger liefern hier Glanzleistungen ab und füllen ihre jeweiligen Rollen mit Leben. Und die Verarbeitung von Vorurteilen betrifft hier schönerweise beide Seiten: Den rassistischen Südstaaten-Sheriff der erkennt, dass der "schwarze Junge" kein Gauner sondern erfahrener Großstadtpolizist ist, als auch den stolzen Tibbs der nicht den arroganten Rassisten als Täter überführen kann den er gern gekriegt hätte. Beide müssen ihre Vorurteile über Bord werfen und erkennen, dass sie zwar unterschiedliche Menschen sind, aber beide der Polizei angehören und dementsprechend das selbe Ziel verfolgen. Sehr schön, vor allem in den heutigen Tagen des erhobenen Zeigefingers.
Eine absolute Empfehlung für diesen besonderen Film.

監督∶ノーマン・ジュイソン

黒人＋白人のバディものポリス·ストーリーの走りとなった作品だろうか。もっとも､昨今の映画やTVの刑事ドラマのような同じ署に属する二人組の刑事ではなく､殺人事件の起きた田舎町を私用旅行で通りかかった殺人課の黒人敏腕刑事と､殺人事件未経験の小さな地元署の白人署長が､反発し合いながら事件を捜査するという変則的な"バディもの"だ。

舞台が南部ミシシッピ州の田舎町ということで､ロコツな黒人差別の中で､北部出身のエリート黒人刑事が､「目障りな黒人なんか殺してしまえ」とばかりの勢いの地元の荒くれ男たちを向こうに回して捜査する。人種差別テーマもしっかり盛り盛り。"相棒"の警察署長も､部下の警官たちも全員黒人嫌いの差別主義者。さらに黒人の中にも､事件捜査する彼を"白人の手先"と敵視する者もいて､まさに四面楚歌だ。

この９年前に作られたポワティエの主演作『手錠のまゝの脱獄』(手錠で互いに繋がれた白人·黒人の脱獄囚の話)の発展型とも言える映画だ｡(舞台も同じ南部。あちらはサウスカロライナ州ですが…)

[物語] ミシシッピ州のスパータという小さな田舎町。暑い夏の深夜､パトロール警官サム(オーツ)は､道端で撲殺死体を発見する。犠牲者は､町に多くの労働需要を生み出す新しい工場を建設中の実業家コルバート。私用旅行中で､たまたま事件に関わった殺人課の敏腕黒人刑事ティッブス(ポワティエ)は､行きがかりから､殺人事件に不慣れな地元警察に協力することになり､黒人嫌いのギレスピー署長(スタイガー)とともに､捜査の陣頭に立つことに。

署長や署員は黒人の関与を嫌い､ティッブスを追い出そうとする。だが､死亡推定時刻も満足に割り出せない町医者や､田舎警察の無能ぶりに怒り心頭の被害者未亡人レズリー(グラント)は､有能さが滲み出る黒人刑事に捜査を任せないと新工場建設を止めると宣言し､捜査権はティッブスの手に。

被害者の財布を所持していたコソ泥ハーヴェイ(ウィルソン)､大勢の黒人労働者を抱える大農園主で､工場建設反対派の旗頭エンディコット(ゲイツ)､事件直後､急に預金が増えた巡査のサムなど次々と浮かぶ"白人"の容疑者たち…。

黒人に嗅ぎ回られるのを嫌う荒くれの白人青年たちが､凶器を手にティッブスを襲撃するが､彼らの動きを読んでいたギレスピー署長が現れ､ティッブスを救う。署長は､ティッブスを追い払いたいと思う反面､細かな物証から真相を手繰り寄せようとする彼の仕事ぶりに一目置くようになっていた。

そんなある晩､ロイド(パターソン)という青年が､10代の妹ドロレス(ディーン)がサム巡査に妊娠させられたと言って､署に怒鳴り込んでくる。それを聞いたとき､これまでのドロレスの行状について耳に挟んでいたティッブスの脳裏に閃くものがあった。事件は予想外の方向に急転回し始める……!!

この映画､アカデミー賞で作品賞､脚色賞､主演男優賞(スタイガー)など５部門で受賞し､シリーズ化されている。ハリウッドでは､'70年代以降ポリス·アクション路線のヒット作品·シリーズが続々と生み出された。そのキッカケとなり､流れを作ったのは､ともに'71年公開の『フレンチ·コネクション』と『ダーティ·ハリー』と言われているようだ(自分がそう思い込んでるだけ？)。

しかし､それ以前の『夜の大捜査線』('67)､『ブリット』('68)が､ポリス·アクション·シリーズの原点になっている気がする。少なくとも､『夜の〜』は､刑事バディものの原型だし､『ブリット』は､カーチェイス､カーアクションの原型だと思う。

[余談] アメリカ映画を見ていると､いつも自分の英語力の乏しさが恨めしい。本作『夜の大捜査線』でも､登場人物のほとんどである南部人が喋る南部訛りやスラングと､北部出身のエリートである主人公ティッブスの"正しい英語"の違いがハッキリ解れば､もっと楽しめたろうに…。

署長始め南部人たちがティッブスに対して使う"boy"という呼び掛けが､黒人に対して白人が使う侮蔑的な呼び掛けに当たる言葉で､黒人が嫌う言葉であることは､『手錠のまゝの脱獄』か何かで知っていたのですが…。南北戦争後の時代設定のものが多い西部劇などでは､訛りでお互いの出身が解るらしく､お互いに目に見えない壁が出来ているらしいのが､よく解らないのが歯痒いです。
