I cry every single time I hear this incredibly poignant moment in this film. Mostly because my own daughter married a black man. They have now been married almost 20 years and have 3 beautiful children. I couldn't be more proud of them and how they have grown together as a couple and how they are teaching their children. It has been one of the most incredible joys of my life. They inspire me every single day.

RIP Spencer Tracy (April 5, 1900 - June 10, 1967), aged 67 RIP Katherine Hepburn (May 27, 1907 - June 29, 2003), aged 96 RIP Sidney Poitier (February 20, 1927 - January 6, 2022), aged 94 You will always be remembered as legends.

To say this scene is beautiful is an understatement. This is a classic scene from an even classier film. What makes this scene for me, besides the beauty of the dialogue on face value and the delivery is knowing that Tracy was speaking DIRECTLY to Hepburn when he delivers the speech. He was, knowing he was dying, telling her how much he loved her, how much he felt for her, and a goodbye of sorts. This shatters me, every time I watch it.

Spencer could never marry her or be open about their relationship due to his Catholicism, I think his lines directed at Mrs Hepburn was his way of making up for it. He knew he was close to death, he knew she deserved to hear it. I don’t know, but I like to believe his lines about Hepburn were left out the script to surprise Hepburn, or better yet if those line were written by Spencer’s himself.

One of the greatest actors of all time giving one of the greatest monologues of all time in one of the greatest movies of all time.

The love between Spencer & Hepburn was so beautifully told to the world in his final movie. Still brings me to tears seeing this movie.

The pause as he allows his words to sink in and for everyone to realize his daughter and her fiance manifestly deserve to marry each other is the most powerful part.

A beautiful moment in American cinema and a perfect final bow by a great actor.

I’m living in the shadow of a (much softer) version of this right now. I’m white British, and my boyfriend is Indian. We live in London, and he’s met my family lots of times - they’ve been very welcoming to him, even my 92 year old Grandma has, after she had a moment to get used to the idea and realised how much he loves me and how well he looks after me. I have an aunt in Ireland who is quite prejudiced and has made it clear she is uncomfortable with the situation. He hasn’t met her. I don’t know whether to introduce him to her. I haven’t told him about her negative reaction. Part of me just wants to ignore it and stay away. But also another part says “why should we put up with this?” I like to think that if she actually met him and saw how wonderful he is, it would all be okay. But I am also kind of unwilling to risk it. I don’t want to risk hurting him because of her bigotry. His family are all in India, and we’ve not met yet. His brother and his Dad know about me, and seem to be okay with it. At least they haven’t raised any outright objections. Sadly his Mum died before we met, so she isn’t in the equation, and his older / extended family don’t know anything. It’s been 18 months since we got together. I’m a bit scared about what it will be like when I go to India to meet them. My boyfriend is quite belligerent about it - his view is, “either they accept us or screw them”. But I worry. I am slowly learning some Hindi, so hopefully I’ll be able to communicate a bit, but one of his Grandmas only speaks Tamil and a tiny bit of English. He is close with her, and I worry that she will pull away from him when she finds out about me. I hear them speaking on the phone and she seems so sweet - always worrying about him staying warm in the terrible English climate haha. I just hope it all works out okay and that they can accept me like my family accepted him. We plan to marry and have children. I worry for them, even though they don’t exist yet and may never be conceived. I want any children we have to be loved by all their extended family. I want them to be connected to and proud of their whole heritage. Our situation is nothing compared to what black/ white couples faced back then and still face today in many places. But it’s still more complicated than it should be. I wish we didn’t have to worry about any of this racial bullshit. Like the Dad says in this scene, we’re just two people who happened to fall in love. Our care and respect for each other, our commitment to each other, should be the only thing that matters. Sorry for the essay! I clearly needed to get that off my chest haha.

Spencer Tracy delivered that scene with perfection. He sums up the point of it all. He was dying and he had a relationship with Hepburn and the love between them is clear.

How can a Director put together three acting geniuses and NOT come up with this historical, unforgetable and TRUE monolog? This was the story of Spencer and Katherine's love. The only difference was that he was married... I really miss the great actors and pictures of yesterday... and to think the three of them are gone... count me in those who are crying in this scene.

This is one of the most emotional movie scenes ever made. The part where Tracy crosses the room and you see Hepburn in tears gets me every time... And it seems that the more I see it, the earlier I'm in tears myself. Of course, the story behind the scene gets me as much as the scene itself, so the combination of those two elements is very overwhelming.

Hepburn's tears HERE are #Real . Spencer Tracy died 9 months BEFORE this movie was released. This WAS his final role. Filming of his role was completed just 17 days before Tracy's death in June 1967. Hepburn never saw the completed film, saying that the memories it would evoke for her of Tracy were too emotional.

When Spencer says that Sidney’s mother tells him that like her husband he’s a burnt out shell of a man that can’t even remember what it’s like to be in love and Spencer says “ that’s one issue that I’m prepared to take issue with because your wrong “ the next 4 minutes contain the most beautiful description of love , true love I’ve ever heard . The tears fall without my permission .this speech is delivered by a master pro at the very end of his life . He was so proud of his work that he told the director Kramer “ if I die right now you have the movie in the can . Katherine tears start when Spencer takes his position next to her .

Spencer Tracy's monologue at the conclusion of this movie is one of the best scenes of this film. A fine way to make an exit before his death. Despite racial differences, he accepts his daughter's love for a young African American doctor. A great cast. Sidney Poitier. Katherine Hepburn. Katherine Houghton. So many good scenes to talk about from one of the best all time movies that deals with interracial relationships. I loved this movie. A LOT!

One of the greatest monologs in cinema history. People view themselves in a certain way and when that view is challenged its a punch in the gut. When Matt shows he's the man Christina always loved you can see her ready to burst. So much going on here.

It's a perfect conclusion to a personal and working relationship between Tracy and Hepburn. The speech that Tracy gives though directed to Poitier and Houghton, very well could have been about his relationship with Hepburn. It's reality posing as art. An highly emotional scene and highly memorable one at that.

On June 12, 1967, The U.S. supreme court ruled that prohibition of marriage based on race was unconstitutional. It really must have took some guts to make this movie in it's era, but the movie is a true classic indeed. They don't make'em like this anymore. GREAT MOVIE!!

Spence is such an incredible actor! You could tell he really embraced the role of Matt Drayton and belived what he was saying.

43 years on and this movie still has significant reference to todays society

This is one of my favorite movies, and this is a beautiful way for Spencer Tracey to end a distinguished career. Bravo!

What a powerful speech!!! Sydney, you’ll be missed. You paved the way to people like me.

BRILLIANT !!!!!!! This was such a incredible movie, Spencer gave his last performance here and did it perfect as usual . Best screenplay - "And if it's half of what we felt...that's everything". Then the look that he gives Katherine- 04:39- no acting, that was real . And the cast was one of the best ensembles ,especially loved Beah Richards,her soft voice when giving Spencer her thoughts was very moving . Oh yeah, and gotta love the lounge singer at the piano-her hairstyle was to die 4.

i always cry 😭 at this part. fabulous movie and actors!!!

Both Hepburn and Tracy are wonderful in this movie. Very real people. The daughter in the film is Katherine Houghton who was Kate Hepburns real niece.

For some people, this movie, was controversial in it's day, but they would have to concede that this final speech is awesome..

This film was amazing just watched the whole thing properly. This ending has made me have tears in my eyes. The acting from Tracy and Sidney was masterful. This wasn’t just a speech about the difference about race but about the true meaning of love and love has no colour. 10/10

Towards the end of his looking at Hepburn, Tracy gives her a slight smile, just so she knows he's talking about her :)

If only this romantic depiction of love were to still ring true today. My, how our country has delved into the abyss ever since. The legacy of slavery remains, my fellow citizens. Racism runs deep in our culture and hasn't relinquished its grip. Hollywood made a valiant effort to address it but there's only so much a movie can do. Thank you to Sydney Poitier for blazing a trail for other African American actors and thank you to Spencer Tracy for giving a memorable performance right before he passed. This movie may seem quaint by today's standards but it's message rings true to the end.

Of course we still have rhat legacy - slavery ended only 150 years ago, and then we had another 100 years of legal discrimination. But now we have the most diverse - racially and sexually and gender-wise - Congress ever. And it has been getting more diverse year by year. We have more people year by year entering intermarriage. More Black people entering tje middle class each year. We are nowhere year equality, but slavery's grip is looser today than 10 years ago, which was loose thsn 10 years before that We have work to do, but it is a huge mistake to lose soght of how much progress we have made. And maybe we could learn effective ways of speeding up that progress. That I think is important. However while a Black man and a White woman holding hands on 21st century America still draws looks, it is the second most common type of intermarriage in the US. And about 20% of us are marrying someone of a different race. Just 40 years ago - the rate was 4%. Could anyone have imagined such a thing?

Katherine Hepburn's reaction was real tears BECAUSE she and Tracy had a REAL LIFE romance, and she knew he was to die soon (6 weeks after this scene). She was overcome by the fact his health was failing and had LIMITED TIME TO LIVE, and knew it was their last scene together, ever. LEGENDARY MOMENT IN CINEMA FOLKS.

Really powerful monologue by Tracy, it is so obvious he was talking to Kate Hepburn and their love affair.

What a beautiful film,flawless performances from Katharine to Sidney,may they all rest in peace,.

Very true. This is one of those moments where the love between two people in a movie was very real,

One of my favorite scenes of ALL TIME!! Always worth the eight minutes!! So beautiful, so eloquent, so moving.. "Pigmentation problem" were the funniest two words spoken in this monologue..
