Stanley Kramer and William Rose's Guess Who's Coming to Dinner was arguably already dated when it opened on 12.12.67. It wouldn't have been dated if it had opened, say, in '62, '63 or even '64. But '67 was too activist, too strident, too Stokely Carmichael'ed, too rioted, too Black Power-ed, too Vietnam War-ed, too Sgt. Pepper-ed and too psychedelicized. It just didn't fit.
