Episode 16: In the Heat of the Night (1967)


Released 29 August 2018.


For this episode, we watched In the Heat of the Night, written by
Stirling Silliphant, based on the the novel by John Ball. It was
directed by Norman Jewison, produced by Walter Mirisch and edited
by Hal Ashby, with music by Quincy Jones and cinematography by
Haskell Wexler. It starred Sidney Poitier, Rod Steiger, Warren
Oates, Lee Grant and Larry Gates.


The film won five Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best
Actor (Steiger) and Best Editing. Although nominated, Jewison did
not win as director.


Apologies for the poor sound quality for parts of this recording
– we had some fairly serious technical issues.
