Sorry to duplicate your efforts, I just watched ITHOTN again and was struck by how terrific he looked.
And that daughter of his is 100 different kinds of fine.

Think like a man of action, and act like a man of thought.

Sad loss.
I’ve always thought his incredible acting talent was eclipsed by the weight on his shoulders that attitudes of the time forced on him.
A great talent and man

^ Interesting.
Monk, you know, refused to carry too heavy a load when it came to black activism and was evidently pissed off when Valerie Wilmer attempted to pin him down on said subject. She might have had more out of Archie Shepp. Miles, I think, asked her to drop her knickers.

Re: Ivy Icon: Sidney Poitier
Someone somewhere, too many years ago, mentioned 'Edge Of The City'. Not, I must confess, the type of film I would willingly seek out nowadays, sticking - with few exceptions - to movie-making between 1930 and the mid-40s.
