| In the Heat of the Night (1967) 50th anniversary red carpet premiere |
Greetings from Hollywood! The first day of the 2017 TCM Classic Film Festival kicked off with a bang. The opening night picture In the Heat of the Night (1967) had a 50th anniversary celebration with guests including Sidney Poitier, Lee Grant, Norman Jewison, Walter Mirisch, Quincy Jones and Scott Wilson. I was on the red carpet and had the opportunity to interview some of the guests. Full coverage and video is coming very soon. Here is a sneak peek. (And no I didn't see Sidney Poitier unfortunately. It'll be my greatest TCMFF failure.)

After dinner at Boardner's with bloggers Danny, Kim and Jeff, my husband Carlos, and Marya of TCM, I headed over to the Chinese Multiplex to catch Requiem for a Heavyweight (1962) with Jeff and Wade of The Retro Set.
I'll have much more to come on future posts and recaps. See you in La La Land.
