On a trip to London with his daughter (Yvette Curtis) for some dirt-bike races, Dr. Matt Younger (Sidney Poitier) meets beautiful dignitary Catherine Oswandu (Esther Anderson) and quickly falls for her. But something is amiss -- strange men seem to be following her wherever she goes, and Younger assumes she's at the center of some political intrigue. His heart sinks when he learns that she has sickle cell anemia, and the men are watchdogs in the employ of her anxious father (Earl Cameron).

Once you are let in on the secret, there isn't much to do but enjoy the suffering and there is something just as dishonest about that as there is about booby-trapping an audience.

A Warm December is an exciting, suspenseful, love story that black people will appreciate.

A ground breaking film that also harks to 70s Love Story tragic romance, but also the first time a black couple were presented in this way, showing the black couple in an elite lifestyle, mixed with African culture that sort of presages Black Panther, and very different from the American black experience f Poitier's earlier films such a Rasin in the Sun and The Defiant Ones.

A Warm December is an amazing film. It is about Dr. Matt Younger and his daughter arrive for a month-long visit to London for dirt-bike racing. Sidney Poitier and Yvette Curtis give amazing performances. The script is well written. Sidney Poitier also did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama and romance. A Warm December is a must see.

Sidney Poitier pulls double-duty for the 1973 clunker A Warm December, but I'm sorry to say it does nothing for his reputation as an actor or as a director.
