True Fiction presents a Kino Club review of In the Heat of the Night. This 1967 film stars Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger, and is about a black police detective asked to investigate a murder in a racially hostile southern town. This movie won 5 Oscar Awards when it came out and was then made into a successful television series that ran for 8 seasons. Kino Club is just a few movie lovers that get together to watch films and talk about them. This is a "warts and all" recording, and the language does get a bit salty sometimes. And there are spoilers, so be warned. But we try to get to dig down into what made the film what it is.
