Race was the issue?


Watching this I didn't even feel race was the real issue.

Yes initially all of the parents were shocked. But after little time at all all the parents seemed to drop the race issue except for Mr. Prentice. He was the only one who seemed very concerned about race.

Mr. Drayton seemed only concerned about the fact that his daughter was getting married so suddenly which is fairly reasonable. And both the mothers were alright with it after a short time.

Yes I understand that race was the INTENDED issue but it didn't really feel that way at all to me.

What do you think?

Look at that turtle go bro!

A sudden marriage was shocking but race was the issue.

How do we know for an absolute fact that hard work never killed anyone?

Considering the movie was released in 1967 at the height of the civil rights movement, yes, race was the absolute reason.
