Synopsis
They Call Me Mister Tibbs! (1970) is a crime detective film you can watch online on iFILM. Sidney Poitier reprises Virgil Tibbs, now a San Francisco police lieutenant, in Gordon Douglas's follow-up that trades the sweltering Southern town for the big city.
A call girl turns up dead. The trail leads to a charismatic street preacher and political organizer — a man Tibbs counts as a friend. While he works the case, the lieutenant is also losing ground at home with a rebellious son and a strained marriage. Martin Landau plays the preacher whose reputation hangs in the balance, with young Ed Asner and John Hillerman among the supporting faces.
This is the sequel to the landmark In the Heat of the Night, though it drops the racial powder keg for a straight, solid 1970s cop procedural carried by Poitier's quiet authority. Worth a look mainly as the middle chapter of the Tibbs trilogy and a snapshot of its era. Stream They Call Me Mister Tibbs! (1970) online on iFILM.
