Poitier romance
3 August 2022
Dr. Matt Younger (Sidney Poitier) is a widower with a young daughter. He meets African diplomat Catherine Oswandu who is the niece of the Ambassador. They have a relationship and are followed by two mysterious men.

I didn't realize that this is going for the full romance. It has more in common with Love Story. Poitier is the most idealized black man of his time but his romantic heat has never been the hottest. He's more a daddy personality and not the sexy kind. I don't care for the two mystery men misdirection. There is a bit of globetrotting although I would rather stay in one place over a shorter period like a vacation. The medical stuff isn't that enlightening or compelling. As a romance movie, this is a little flat.
