Watch this incredible snippet of dialogue from 1967's Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?, especially from 1:00 to about 1:40, with the zinger line coming halfway in-between:
I was a little boy when the movie came out (as was the president-elect) and I remember clearly how ridiculous this notion seemed at the time. Truly something.
UPDATE: I don't know how I missed a Frank Rich column, because I never do, but Brother Belenky here in the DC office notes that Frank wrote about this scene in his November 1 column. It's a terrific piece as usual. But it's still worth seeing the clip.
