The answer to that question is, your new son-in-law's parents. A wealthy white family is informed that their daughter's intended is coming to meet them, and he's black. Scripted in the late 60's, the idea of bi-racial was still fairly shocking. To smooth this over the son-in-law is a "prince". He's a doctor who lives in Switzerland and intends to take their daughter there to live. Set in California, it's not quite a return to Salem, Alabamba, but was controversial in it's day. This was the last Tracy-Hepburn movie, and the last film Spencer Tracy made before his death 17 days after filming ended. |
