Description
Oscar got it right by naming "In the Heat of the Night" as best film of 1967. Director Norman Jewison, when interviewed by Robert Osborn on Turner Classic Movies, said that the racial subject was so touchy that they were afraid of shooting the film in the South only a few years after the passage of the Civil Right Act of 1964, allowing all the right to vote. Most of it was shot in Illinois; the only locale in the South were the cotton fields of Tennessee.
"I've never seen a man become a role so much. Two weeks after we started the picture it was almost impossible to talk to (him) because he was in a Southern dialect night and day."...Canadian director/producer Norman Jewison on Rod Steiger (1925-2002) who won an Oscar for his performance in "In the Heat."
