I genuinely wish that those heaping praise on Sidney Poitier after his death would consider what they’re saying more carefully. Much of what is being said could also be said of Harry Belafonte and Harry Belafonte is still alive. First black-white romance? That would be 1959’s The World, the Flesh, and the Devil with Harry Belafonte, Inger Stevens, and Mel Ferrer (A Patch of Blue was in 1965).
Wonder if he will return his Golden Globe award.
Tom Cruise sent back three.
