Belafonte went on to be the first Black Emmy Award winner, while Poitier became the first Black man to win a Best Actor Oscar. Here's a look back at this deep and enduring friendship.

One of the most powerful images of race I retained from childhood is Virgil Tibbs being slapped, then immediately slapping Enicott back, making the gutless sack of shit cry.

Sorry to burst some bubbles just as we start but both Paul Newman’s trombone and Sidney Poitier’s tenor saxophone playing was dubbed by Murray McEachern and Paul Gonsalves, respectively

Sidney Poitier
Born February 20, 1927, Sidney Poitier's pioneering career has had a tremendous impact on American culture. In the early '50s, he was the top and virtually sole African-American film star—the first black actor to become a hero to both black and white audiences.

The logical follow-up but can Mr Tibbs aptitude hold out in a much less uncomfortable setup? Lets watch They Call Me Mister Tibbs! (Gordon Douglas, 1970).

Watched 'They Call Me Mister Tibbs' last night & I fixated on a cool vintage (well, NOW it's vintage, then it was a few years old) Anchor Hocking (probably) Christmas punch bowl set (kinda like this one) on the mantel behind Martin Landau. How could that distract me from the crazy talented Poitier?
