Long before Henry Fonda played an irascible patriarch in On Golden Pond, he played an equally crusty family man in this warmly rustic, 1963 drama Spencer's Mountain, based on an Earl Hamner Jr. novel that later inspired the television series The Waltons. Fonda plays Clay Spencer, a fiercely independent, hard-drinking, foul-mouthed Wyoming laborer who believes in God but rejects (to his tiny community's consternation) organized religion. Scraping together enough money to build a new house for his wife (Maureen O'Hara) and nine children, Spencer runs into an obstacle to both his plans and family pride when his college-bound son (James MacArthur) romances the daughter of Spencer's boss. Director Delmer Daves whips up a kind of morose schmaltz out of the earnest material, but it's Fonda's grit and heartland integrity that carry the day and establish some self-effacing wit. Some nice features here, including interviews with Fonda and a short documentary, "Spencer's Mountain: Grand Teton Premiere." --Tom Keogh

Good Family Movie.......2007-04-09

This movie is based on, what I believe to be, the same from which The Waltons series is based. It is a warm, sweet family movie.

Spencer's Mountain.......2007-02-08

Very good family movie, for any age. It has all the ingredient, comedy, romance, tragedy, and the well to persevere.

The way life used to be.......2007-01-20

This is a timeless classic that everyone who has kids - no matter how many - should see. The film is a microcosm of what this country was built on - hard work, independence and self-sufficiency. The backdrop, the Grand Teton mountains, is literally stunning. It looks fake, and nowadays in movies, it would be fake - but not here. Watch this film and you CANNOT be disappointed!

Spencer's Mountain.......2007-01-03

Terrific old movie. The condition and timeliness of it's arrival was great.

It's the best!.......2006-10-29

Spencers Mountain is just such an enjoyable movie for all ages. Never get tired of watching it. A must see for families!

Elvis tried something different in his final narrative movie… but the results are oddly similar to his usual '60s formula. Here the King plays a doctor working in an inner-city free clinic, playing host to three Catholic nurses (who are really nuns incognito). Elvis gets hung up on one of the nuns, played by Mary Tyler Moore; she seems a lot closer to The Dick Van Dyke Show than the Vatican. The songs are sparse--"Rubberneckin'" gets a workout in one of those awful stilted hootenannies so prevalent in Elvis pictures. The flower-power ambience is more interesting than the story; the film features Mod Squad-style attempts at racial politics, a sit-down protest, and a weird sequence involving "rage reduction" to cure an autistic child. Elvis has good scenes and indifferent ones, but he looks fantastic (this is just after the great "comeback"), and he dresses like no other doctor before or since. --Robert Horton

Best of all Elvis Films.......2007-04-09

This movie is my favorite and I'm a huge Elvis fan! I can't understand why it is so underrated.

Not an Elvis Movie.......2007-01-05

This movie does star Elvis Presley. However, he is really a minor player. Even my 12 yr old son noticed that much. The movie is about the 60's movement to better the humanity in a neighborhood of racial mixes, young people on drugs, & the Banker - the guy who "owns" the neighborhood, preys on those just trying to get by. So we have Sr. Michelle who tries to naively help the troubled youth, Sr. Irene who comes to terms with her ownself as she learns how to beat the Banker & help her people & young Sr. Barbara - the young rebel, who learns how to fight the tough battle while staying in tune with the neighborhood people. Elvis has the role of Dr John Carpenter, a calm voice in a sea of turmoil. He knows there's trouble in the streets, he's there to help those he can, get involved when necessary & help where he can. He doesn't have any illusions of being the superhero. Actually Elvis seems to have walked in off the street onto the movie set he is so lowkeyed. He appears to be having fun, relaxed & even gets to play football. He does sing - 4 songs if you include the title track. One song at the beginning where he & the neighborhood kids are just hanging out & jamming, & one at the end - a gospel song in church. The one in the middle is the kind of movie song he hated to do - he just bursts into song on a carousel, singing to a small girl trying to get her to smile. This is one of my favorite Elvis movies, give it a shot.

Just a good old movie.......2006-09-11

I just would like to say, just watch this movie for fun. If you try and rate this movie by asking if it is Elvis's best you are probably not going to like it, same thing with Mary Tyler Moore. Too many people try and be movie critics. Most of the time if the movie critics hate it, I like it, and if they love it, I hate it. I just watch movies for the fun and try not to rate people on if it is their best. This is a good family movie. It is a clean movie and not out of line for the 60's. So just sit back and enjoy, don't try and read anything into the movie and you will probably like the movie.

Change of Habit - starring Elvis Presley.......2006-03-23

HELLO. WITH REGARDS TO THIS MOVIE ( CHANGE OF HABIT ) STARRING ELVIS PRESLEY, IT IS MY OPINION THAT THIS WAS ONE OF HIS BEST MOVIES. ALMOST EVERY OTHER MOVIE HAS HIM SINGING REALLY DORKY SONGS. THIS MOVIE WAS NOT BAD. IT ALLOWED HIM TO ACT AND SING SONGS THAT WERE NOT THAT BAD.

PAUL SUMMERS

Elvis and Mary.......2006-02-09

This movie is enjoyable if flawed (holding a child for 8 hours straight won't cure autism). Elvis as Dr. Dreamboat is gorgeous, (despite mutton chops) I just wish that MTM as Sister Michelle wasn't such a quavery nervous wreck. (and besides, she looks like a chipmunk in her full habit at the end). Elvis is very natural with the mediocre dialogue, a shame that he was under the thumb of his manager and didn't get more dramatic roles, he surely could have handled them. (Check out Jailhouse Rock for a comparison)

Watching this while I was growing up, I hoped that Sr. Michelle would choose the doctor over the church, (which we are frustratingly left to figure out ourselves). But now I think his character would have been happier with the nun who definitely leaves in the end!

If not the best written Elvis movie (with stereotypes and heavy handed messages galore) at least it's nice to see him in a dramatec role. It meant well as a commentary on the times, it just needed a bit more fine tuning. The opening 'striptease' by the nuns (they change from habits to streetclothes) certainly sends a mixed message and some might say a sacriligious one too, but for the most part, it's just immature and a bit ridiculous.

I still like this picture if just for Elvis alone!

Sidney Poitier is seldom praised as a pioneer of blaxploitation, but that's what he is in They Call Me Mister Tibbs. This sequel's title is cribbed from its groundbreaking predecessor, In the Heat of the Night, but similarities end there, since this engaging murder mystery owes more to "blaxpo" and the urban police procedurals that dominated film and TV in the early 1970s. Poitier's got plenty of proto-funk charisma (and a Quincy Jones groove) as San Francisco detective Virgil Tibbs, dominating his Caucasian colleagues with quiet fortitude and sure-fire instincts. His latest case is rife with likely suspects, including a Bible-thumping reformer (Martin Landau) and a sleazy landlord (Anthony Zerbe). It's a routine plot by latter-day standards, but director Gordon Douglas enlivens it with solid character details: Poitier's scenes with his defiant young son (George Spell) are genuinely moving, and performances are uniformly superb. Poitier did another sequel, The Organization (1971), ending his Tibbs trilogy on a high note of success. --Jeff Shannon

Description

In this suspenseful sequel to In the Heat of the Night, Academy AwardÂ(r) winner* Sidney Poitier reprises his role as the intrepid investigator who, this time, must solve a puzzling murder in the City by the Bay. Featuring an original score by Quincy Jones and co-starring OscarÂ(r) winner** Martin Landau and Edward Asner (JFK), They Call Me Mister Tibbs! is Â"an absorbing mystery that ranks as one of the bestÂ" (Boxoffice). When a prostitute is murdered in San FranciscoÂ's ritzy Nob Hill district, an anonymous tip implicates minister and political crusader Reverend Logan Sharpe (Landau). Lt. Virgil Tibbs (Poitier), who has known Sharpe for many years, asks to be assigned to the case in hopes of clearing his friendÂ's name. So begins the detectiveÂ's journey through a twisted maze of baffling evidence, frantic chases, deadly gunfire and bad alibis. Before long, Tibbs finds himself bitterly torn between his duty as a copÂ...and his loyalty to a friend. *1963: Actor, Lilies of the Field; 2001: Honorary Award **1994: Supporting Actor, Ed Wood

They Call Me Mr Tibbs.......2006-11-10

Excellent transaction - recommend this seller to my friends. Thank you again.

A bit edgy and raunchy showing a harder performance........2004-08-15

This is a sequel to the oscar winning film "In The Heat Of The Night". 3 years does make a difference. Where Poiter is more subdued in the first movie he's brought more on a personal level in this sequel. It shows Tibbs as a family man, and how he attempts to straddle his personal life from his work. However, when the twain meet and crash into one another this is where you get to see a performance. Tibbs friend played by Martin Landau is a minister with a social conscience, and wants to see the inner city of San Francisco change for the better through social projects, and groups. Unfortunately the minister wasn't able to straddle his private, and work either as a prostitute is found murdered, and he becomes the prime suspect. I found this movie to be somewhat hardcore, and way too blunt. I found Poiter's performance especially with the scenes of where it's Tibbs and his son at odds. Tibbs is attempting I think to be a modern father, or as modern as he could get for that time. However, people today would look at the yelling at his son for watching way too much t.v., introducing his son to smoking cigars, and drinking liquor, and finally the ultimate confrontation where Tibbs slaps his son across the face for not cleaning up his room, and just blanche in horror. These 2 scenes often bothered me as I'm not certain if Tibbs is attempting reverse psychology hoping his son will hate the cigar smoke, and liquor, and about the slapping across the face. Some may find this common, but it's hard to tell when the modern way, and the old-fashioned separate. It leaves me anyway with the sense that I agree that sometimes to get a person to break a habit, or a behavior is to make them do more of the things you hate to see, and hope that it will make them stop because they don't have the control anymore, but at the same time I find slapping of the face to be rather embarrassing. The hands, or behind is one thing, but the face leaves a red mark, and is humiliating. I mean you want to discipline a little more, and not humiliate. It shows you the aftermath of what 1967 was where parents were starting to lose more, and more of thier influence on their children, and this shows an attempt to bridge the gap, and the growing pains that go along with it. I gave it 3 stars as while I found it holding my interest I don't feel I want to see it ever again. Once was enough.

Great Movie a Cult Classic!!!! See it!!!.......2004-06-29

Starring Sidney Landau, Martin . McNair, Barbara (Tibbs Wife), "They Call me Mr. Tibbs is the sequel (sort of ) to `In the Heat of the Night'

I saw this on turnerclassicmovies, and it's one of the most entertaining 70's movies I've seen and you've probably never heard of it.

I can't blame you though, the 70's had a lot of `B' movies that only revolved around drugs, violence and had no plots and bad actors but this movie is one of the best movies made during that era.

The great element of this movie is Poitier himself who resembled the ideal black man- Strong, Intelligent, and Independent. As pointed out in his biography Poitier grew dirt poor in Miami and worked menial jobs, often sleeping in bus terminals. Then he started auditioning in theaters until he eventually got acting parts.

In fact actors like Denzel Washington idolized Poitier growing up, though with all respect to Mr. Washington, he didn't really break down the color barrier as did Sidney. Poitier has broken down color barriers in films like "In the Heat of The Night", "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner", and " The Defiant Ones (with Tony Curtis)" He proved that a minority actor can be at the same acting level, if not better than his white counterparts. In fact many of his roles, had him acting against white bigots like "In the Heat of The Night" and "No way out."

Now on to the opinion.

Sidney Poitier reprises his role as lieutenant Virgil Tibbs from `In The Heat of The Night', this time though, Tibbs is working in San Francisco trying to solve the murder of a prostitute called Miss Joy.

Tibbs approaches the crime scene and like a good detective makes detail of everything that could provide a clue to as to who murdered Miss Joy.

This is a great detective movie, this movie gives you the important aspects of what a good detectives looks for in solving a case.

Fingerprints, pieces of lint on a new carpet, searching for marks on the victim and above all looking into the history of the victim are all clues that Tibbs uses to find the killer.

The suspects are: Reverend Logan Sharpe: Tibbs best friend for the past 18 yrs who is campaigning for a special
proposition for the schools. The role is played here by the legendary Martin Landua who has appeared in over 50 movies or so in his lifetime. While not the charismatic actor, Landua plays his roles perfectly. In touch with the times of the 70's, Landua's role called for a political preacher who cares about the community and wants to give control back to the people. Pay close attention to the speech he gives while supporting his proposition. The words he says are words that most community leaders would use. Also the words he says are bitter sweet too because all the problems he points out are still going in today's school: Better teachers, teachers who care, rights for the less fortunate, etc.

Woody Garfield a real estate man, is the other suspect ,played by the legendary Ed Asner who first became a celebrity through the Mary Tyler Moore Show and other hit tv shows and movies. He plays a real estate man who lends his property to pimps like Mr. Weedon.

Mr. Weedon is a pimp who lives on the same apartment where Miss Joy was killed.

Without revealing too much (since I want you to see this great film the movie keeps you guessing as to who the killer is. Also there are some decent action scenes where Tibbs (resembling Shaft) beats up the white drug dealers who try to interfere with his investigation.

On top of that the film depicts the life of a hardworking black man who protects his family but is tough on them if need be.

For instance, in one gripping scene, Tibbs must discipline his son , Andy Tibbs, for hitting his sister and for not cleaning his room.

Tibbs gives his son a chance to make up for what he has done by giving him the opportunity to clean his room,but he doesn't do it. Tibbs slaps him on the face because he knows that his son, has not learned to respect authority. His son starts crying but still doesn't follow his father's orders. Tibbs slaps him again until he gets the message. A very gritty, tough, great police crime drama movie.

A great inside look into the abilities of Sidney Poitier.

They Call Me Mister Tibbs.......2003-09-21

Sidney Poitier was wonderful "In The Heat of the Night". Yet the sequel, "They Call Me Mister Tibbs!", comes across as a disjointed movie at best. With overlapping incomplete story lines it is difficult to feel empathy for any of the characters. The plot is so silly it is like watching a bad re-run of the "Street of San Francisco" cop show.

Am I the only one who noticed the major character flaws that don't mesh with who Virgil Tibbs was "In The Heat Of The Night"? In that finely acted and well written film Tibbs was a detective from Philly. He was unmarried, without any children. Now three years later he is married, with two half grown kids and has been a S.F. cop for twelve years. DUH?

Also we have several scenes where Black and White citizens hang out and socialize as if there never was a need for a Civil Rights Movement. And Ed Asner is wasted as a suspect who runs from the police, not because he commited any crime, but for cheating on his wife. The car chase here is maybe the worst in film history.

We see Tibbs, in boring scenes, driving his police car with a carboard partner who never says a word but just chain smokes. In fact all the cops, except Tibbs, are window dressing. While the actual killer's motive for murder doesn't make sense and is totally out of sync with his personality.

Also the famous line of defiance from "In The Heat Of The Night", "They call me Mister Tibbs!", is never uttered in this film. Sidney Poiter doesn't show the emotion and conflict that we saw when he was opposite Rod Steiger. In that film Tibbs shined brightly. In the sequel he is just an echo. This Turkey don't fly and I will stick with the Virgil I knew and loved from "In The Heat Of The Night".

Another Poiter hit!.......2001-07-02

As a Poiter fan I couldn't wait to see this film. This story gave a look at Virgil Tibbs from a personal side. The struggles he faced as a detective were portrayed with his usual brilliant acting! A must see for any fan of his!

The Organization was the second and final sequel to 1967's In the Heat of the Night and sees Sidney Poitier's homicide detective Virgil Tibbs called in to investigate the murder of a factory manager. In a lengthy, dialogue-free opening (the film's best sequence), it appears that we are witnessing the culprits in action. However, this group turns out to be a gang of idealistic young vigilantes who knew that the factory was a front for an international drugs cartel--the Organization of the title--and have made off with a haul of $5 million worth of heroin secreted there. Suspected of the manager's murder, they meet Tibbs and seek his cooperation. He agrees to help them, pitting himself not only against the Organization but his own police department.

Set in San Francisco, The Organization invites invidious comparisons with Bullitt: its somewhat cheesy contemporary soundtrack, derived from Miles Davis' Bitches Brew, certainly marks it as a piece of its period, as do the occasionally less-than-convincing action sequences, risible acting, and far-fetched plot. Poitier, as ever, lends the film a certain dignity and poise, worthy of better material to work with than this. The film is also notable for providing early showcases for two of Cop TV's most famous captains: Daniel J. Travanti (Hill Street Blues) and Bernie Hamilton (later Captain Dobey in Starsky & Hutch) are both assigned minor roles here. --David Stubbs

Description

Academy AwardÂ(r) winner* Sidney Poitier (In the Heat of the Night) reprises his role as Lt. Virgil Tibbs in this taut drama that exposes the ruthless, high-stakes world of international drug trafficking. Co-starring Raul Julia (Presumed Innocent), this action-packed (Variety) crime thriller is edge-of-the-seat entertainment (Los Angeles Times). Under the cover of darkness, six masked figures raid a seemingly respectable furniture factoryand steal a multimillion-dollar cache of heroin! But these are no ordinary crooks. They're a passionate band of former users-turned-vigilantes whose frustration with the law's inability to combat the city's drug problem spurs them to take on a powerful narcotics ring. After contacting Tibbs, they confess to the break-in, beg him to keep silent and ask for his help. But once he reluctantly agrees to operate outside the law, Tibbs soon finds himself at odds with the police and a ruthless drug syndicate that will stop at nothing to silence him! *1963: Actor, Lilies of the Field; 2001: Honorary Award

Customer Reviews:

A forgotten cult movie!.......2006-04-11

Beginning with "In the heat of the night", this is the third and last sequel. Poitier plays hard and faces a powerful organization which deals with drugs. In the line of "The French Connection", the picture will guarantee you a solid script plenty of emotion, impressive chases and a very realistic ending.

The Organization finally on dvd ............2006-01-07

I saw this movie when it first came out and I still enjoy watching it because I am a fan of the 70's cop movies. I enjoyed the San Fransisco backround scenery and also the music in the film. It doesn't match up to some of the other great's of the time such as Serpico,The French Connection ,Death Wish or Dirty Harry but if you enjoy watching cop shows of that decade like I do then I recommend it........

terrible movie.......2005-12-31

I agree with the only other review. I watched an hour of this and just had to shut it off. I came to Amazon the next day to see if i was wrong but I wasn't. A lousy movie.

"Is this the reason Poitier took a hiatus from movies?".......2001-02-14

This is without doubt one of the worst movies ever made! Wooden acting,poor picture quality and a soundtrack that made my teeth grate. Being a Poitier fan and language student, I got it for the foreign language subtitles. A die hard movie buff might want to see it for the early wasted performances of some fine actors,including Raul Julia as a "Hippy". I often disagree with the critics for lacking a sense of fun, but this turkey deserves all their venom. If you decide to see it, I suggest you use earplugs and just read the subtitles.

"I want you to do wild things to me! Unbelievable wild things!" Warhol star Louis Waldon (Lonesome Cowboys) is The Love Merchant, a biker named Click Boyd who's the personal procurer of willing women for "millionaire bum" Kendall Harvey III: "With my contacts, I could feed you broads for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!" And while Click has no trouble finding gals eager to trade sex for cash, Kendall has his sights set on Peggy Johns. Trouble is, Peggy is not only "square" but happily married. But when her husband's business suddenly goes bust, Kendall offers to help him out IF she will be his bedmate for 48 hours. This sexploitation version of Indecent Proposal -- though made 27 years earlier! -- is another smart skinflick from the sublime Joe Sarno that also features appearances by nudie-faves June Roberts and Cleo Nova!

Plus: "Wendy Dawn is committing adultery with a building contractor, and Pam Ritchie crumbles under the advances of an outraged wife!" So summarizes evil Ellen as she surveys The Layout of cousin Pam and her suburban-Florida swingers. Anxious to prove that "untouchable" Pam is less an ice princess than a latent lesbian, Ellen seduces Pam's female friends until they all end up in Pam's bedroom for one big girl-girl party. Featuring the infamous Chuck Traynor, the man who introduced Linda Lovelace to the world, as the only guy in the cast, here's another slick Sarno straight from the Golden Age of the American Nudie!

Good Family Movie.......2007-04-09

This movie is based on, what I believe to be, the same from which The Waltons series is based. It is a warm, sweet family movie.

Spencer's Mountain.......2007-02-08

Very good family movie, for any age. It has all the ingredient, comedy, romance, tragedy, and the well to persevere.

Thelma & Louise's later years---.......2004-03-10

Carol Lynley & Barbara McNair are a campy hoot as aging bad gals out for fast times and fast money as they wreak criminal havoc along Route 66. Unfortunately, they are only supporting characters in an inadequately written story about a backward boy named Otis who supposedly comes of age while trying to get to Las Vegas. More holes than Swiss cheese, but the cast tries hard to rise about the material. Thank goodness for the presence of the aforementioned pros who at least make the first hour some fun to watch!
