Educational; suspenseful; cool sense of humor intertwined in storyline; reflects diverse relationships in our society; unexpected twists in storyline; love the actresses and actors… well chosen! Would appreciate softening the conflict between the daughter and her father. My husband and I look forward to watching “Good Sam” each week and see what will happen next.

This movie is outstanding and ahead of its time…A Must Watch!!! A Tearjerker for me! ❤️ In the movie, the character Sydney Poitier (Dr. Prentice) was protecting the love and strong bond between his fiancée and her parents… a bond he did not want to destroy… It was a wise, selfless and humble act on his part to say he would not proceed with the marriage without her parents’ blessing! I can understand one’s perception of Dr. Prentice’s disrespect to his father…However, Dr. Prentice wanted his father to see that his son is an independent free-thinking adult. One must also acknowledge, which was overlooked by a previous post, that Dr. Prentice’s next statement to his father as his face softened and showed his appreciation … “You are my father and I will always love you”. I agree with Spencer Tracy (the young ladies’s father) and what he said near the end of the movie, regarding on whether their marriage will endure. I say watch the movie and make your own perceptions! All the actors were outstanding and very endearing! There was a third Academy Award Winning Actor, who recently passed away, who also made a major contribution to this movie and to the world, as a Human Rights and Civil Rights Activist!!!
