If you loved High Noon, try In the Heat of the Night

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to High Noon, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What In the Heat of the Night is

Sparta, Mississippi, summer, a train station. A black detective stands accused, a racist chief resents his presence, a complex web of town secrets. Norman Jewison directs a tense exploration of racial tension and crime.
