Die Organisation (1971)
56KDie Organisation: Directed by Don Medford. With Sidney Poitier, Barbara McNair, Gerald S. O’Loughlin, Sheree North. In San Francisco, Police Lieutenant Virgil Tibbs helps a group of idealistic vigilantes expose a drug ring controlled by powerful businessmen.
“Sydney Poitier is marvelous in any movie he has been in, so far as I have noticed. When he first showed up as MISTER Tibbs in Heat of the Night, I knew it would be a great watch. Unfortunately, by the third run, The Organization, even his usual and expected dazzlement could not save the faulty plot and slow pacing. The premise of a group of amateurs trying to bring down u0026quot;the organizationu0026quot; and then trying to drag in a good cop like Tibbs (who doesnu0026#39;t let the force know what he is doing) is, well, thin and silly. There were great slices of Tibbsu0026#39; home life with his son and daughter, which goes to show that Poitier brings life into even a tedious period cop piece like this one. Overall, itu0026#39;s still watchable, but only if you are a dedicated Poitier fan.”
