The Heat
Uptight and straight-laced, FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn is a methodical investigator with a reputation for excellence--and hyper-arrogance. Shannon Mullins, one of Boston P.D.'s "finest," is foul-mouthed and has a very short fuse, and uses her gut instinct and street smarts to catch the most elusive criminals.

unlabelledView post →I produced a TV show called "In The Heat Of The Night" for many years. It was based, of course, on the movie. I do not think this adaptation would have happened today, or any time in the last five or so years. The show would have been deemed DEI propaganda. And maybe it was.

unlabelledView post →My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 review of IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT boxd.it/bM2eFr While central mystery is fine, social drama endures. Still relevant in 2025...both huge compliment & total bummer. Poitier & Steiger give sharp & multilayered performances in begrudging partnership. #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 959
unlabelledView post →Btw, if you, like me, are on an Alain Delon kick (RIP king), highly recommend The Sicilian Clan (1969), a heist film, and with its cast, the Heat of its day. World-weary Jean Gabin teaming up with young punk Delon. Topped off with a twangy Ennio Morricone score. Absolute banger.

unlabelledView post →Books to films 📚=🎞️ In the Heat of the Night (1965) by John Ball was filmed (1967) by N. Jewison. The film is more of an action movie unlike the slow burn detective novel. Tibbs avoids confrontation unlike the more assertive film version. The film is more political in tone. 🥵👮🌃 #filmsky #booksky

My earliest Quincy Jones film memory was his tense, jazz-infused score for IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT (1967) for Norman Jewison. #filmsky #moviesky 2/
