A Love Story of Today (2008)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
Katharine Houghton, Martin Baum, Louis Gossett, Jr., Norman Jewison, Garry Marshall, Karen Sharpe and Salome Thomas-El are just a few of the people who are interviewed for this 29-minute featurette that takes a look at the production of GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER. That film was highly controversial at the time that it was made and this featurette takes a look at the pre-production issues as well as goes into the actual production of the movie. The highlight of all the interviews is the fact that Houghton is interviewed since she played a very big part in the movie. She talks about how she got involved and also discusses the various death threats that she got because of the role. The rest of the players do a fine job at talking about the importance of the story, the characters and the various reactions that people had to it. Fans of the film will certainly enjoy the stories and the behind-the-scenes look at the production.
