• Anvilicious: Obviously, interethnic marriage.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: John mentions that Joey believes that all their children, presumably even their daughters, will be president one day. Forty-four years later, there's a part-African president, and many believe that a woman will absolutely be elected soon after his terms are over.
• Tear Jerker: Tracy's closing monologue of the film, the actor's last performance.
  • Katherine Hepburn never watched this movie because she couldn't stand to see Tracy's last work.
• Unfortunate Implications: Christina brutally (and awesomely) fires her assistant (who is white) for loudly voicing a negative opinion of the marriage, but only scolds the maid (who is black) for doing much the same thing.
• Values Dissonance: Perhaps it's a measure of the progress made when you have this contrast in the audience reaction with a large portion of the population in 1967: "She's marrying a Negro; that's crazy!" to now: "She's marrying a man she only met 10 days earlier; that's crazy!"
