Guess Who's Coming

About This Movie

So, 'Guess Who's Coming' is this quirky piece from 1973 that throws you into this wild dinner party scenario. The whole premise revolves around a couple trying to impress a royal pair, and it just spirals into chaos with all the disguises and mistaken identities. You've got Ms. Spelvin delivering a surprisingly convincing British accent, which adds this layer of humor that feels both playful and a bit absurd. The pacing keeps things lively, and you can't help but appreciate the practical effects of the time, even if they’re not flashy. It’s that kind of film where the charm lies in its awkward situations and the performances, all wrapped up in a kind of lighthearted absurdity that’s hard to shake off.

This film has had a bit of a limited release history, so it’s not the easiest to find in good condition. There aren’t many copies floating around, which adds to its intrigue for collectors. The unique blend of comedy and mistaken identities, alongside the vintage charm of the 70s style, certainly draws a niche interest from those who appreciate lesser-known gems from the era.
