In the Heat of the Night is a 1967 American mystery drama film directed by Norman Jewison. It is based on John Ball's 1965 novel of the same name and tells the story of Virgil Tibbs, a black police detective from Philadelphia, who becomes involved in a murder investigation in a small town in Mississippi. It stars Sidney Poitier. The film was followed by two sequels also starring Poitier, They Call Me Mister Tibbs! (1970) and The Organization (1971). It was also the basis of a 1988 television series adaptation of the same name.

There's a bit of shooting, a few identities are untangled, and the movie comes to an unmourned end.

The Organization can be rough on super-city sleuths as well as movie-goers who've been through much the same melodramatics before.

I, for one, cannot say exactly what is going on in the film.

The trouble with impersonal villains is that they make for impersonal movies. The Organization has its share of chases and gun battles but who is chasing whom is never completely clear.

Without Heat’svivid racial conflict, these movies try to drag in different forms of “social relevance” (including Tibb’s dull domestic problems), but in such a wishy-washy fashion that they don’t really say anything about those issues.

After a group of young revolutionaries break into a company's corporate headquarters and steal $5,000,000 worth of heroin to keep it off the street, they call on San Francisco Police Lieutenant Virgil Tibbs for assistance.
