Quiz
Sidney Poitier insisted that the movie be filmed in the North because of an incident in which he and Harry Belafonte were almost killed by Ku Klux Klansmen during a visit to Mississippi. That's why Sparta, IL, was chosen for location filming. Nevertheless, the filmmakers and actors did venture briefly into Tennessee for the outdoor scenes at the cotton plantation, because there was no similar cotton plantation in Illinois that could be used. Poitier slept with a gun under his pillow during production in Tennessee. He did receive threats from local racist thugs, so the shoot was cut short and production returned to Illinois.

Blooper
The police chase Harvey Oberst through the yellow leaves of an autumn forest, clearly indicating that it is not the middle of summer, as claimed in the movie. This film takes place in September, as indicated by the calendar in the Sheriff's office and not summer.

Citazioni
Gillespie: Virgil? That's a funny name for a nigger boy that comes from Philadelphia. What do they call you up there?
Virgil Tibbs: They call me MISTER TIBBS!

Curiosità sui crediti
No uppercase ("capital") letters are used in the opening and closing credits, including the film's title, cast and characters, crew and job titles, and company credits.

Versioni alternative
The opening MGM and 2002 United Artists logos in addition to the closing MGM logo originally appeared in the 2008 DVD and Blu-ray prints. But in the Criterion Blu-ray and Kino Lorber 4K release, the MGM logos were plastered with the 2012 variants.

A great whodunit with a unique setting.

Whodunits are a dime a dozen in my view.What makes In the Heat of the Night so unique in the murder mystery genre is it's setting:The racially tense deep south.This is what I enjoy about the film.You have two major plot lines to keep you engrossed:The investigation into the murder itself,and the racial tensions between Sidney Poitier's Virgil Tibbs character and virtually every other character in the film.The film is loaded with great acting,particularly from Poitier,who,not surprisingly,considers this his best work and is his favorite amongst all the projects he has done.Not only is this recommended viewing,it is recommended for a spot on your home video shelf.
