Sidney Poitier has had to carry a heavier load of social significance than just about any other actor in history. In his more than forty feature films, he rarely had the luxury of ignoring the larger implications of his characters’ actions. He was always judged twice: once for his performance and once for the worth of that performance to the advancement of human relations. That’s a lot to ask of any mere mortal. But then, there’s nothing “mere” about Sidney Poitier.
