...before the King assassination); with five Oscars it was the most honored film of the year. One of the weakest choices involved the year's other major race picture, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner; William Rose's gummy screenplay outranked Bonnie and Clyde, La Guerre Est Finie and Two for the Road...
