RIP Sidney Poitier


Recommended Posts

"I ain't building no chapel!"

 

I had a friend, his sister was a nun, and they managed to convince him to paint the inside of their school one long, hot NYC summer.  I used to tease him with that line, calling him Homer Jones.  For many of us who were around in the 1960s the "Mr Tibbs" quote was his signature line; that movie came out in the midst of the Civil Rights era.

He also did a movie with Michael Caine about South Africa during the apartheid era called The Wilby Conspiracy -- not a great movie but pretty interesting.
