About Guess Who Came at Dinner
A first-rate frolic, this scintillating feature begins with Joey Silvera enjoying a vacation at some secluded island resort. While there, he falls in love with delectable black beauty Angel Kelly, and after some blistering sex they decide to get married. Joey brings her home with him, only to confront the racial prejudices of his uptight family. His wealthy brother John Leslie disapproves of bringing a black woman into the family, as does Leslie's stern German wife Angela Baron. Meanwhile, the family's black staff thinks that Angel's just a gold digger out with her eyes on the cash. All it takes is some searing sex to set them all straight, though. The whole thing is played at a very tongue-in-cheek level, with more than enough stellar sexual action to carry the day.
Directed by Paul Thomas, Guess Who Came at Dinner leans on a strong ensemble — Angela Baron, Billy Dee, Mike Horner — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1987.
