This is the film that made even the most harshest critics admit that Will Smith had real potential as far as being a serious actor is concerned. In that search, Ouisa in particularly starts to critically study their lives and how much compassion they actually have. Their encounter with him ends up being an all-too-familiar story that leads them on a search for him after he leaves their house the next morning. After tending to his wounds, the Kittredges invite him to stay the night. Beyond the attraction of talking Paul into getting them roles in the movie, Ouisa, Flan, and Geoffrey all end up being captivated by Paul's charm, charisma, pedigree, and eloquence. Tomorrow, Paul is meeting up with his father, who is in town directing a movie of "Cats". He was a friend of the Kittredges' children, who are attending Harvard more importantly, he's the son of actor and Director Sidney Poitier. The young man, Paul Poitier (Will Smith), had just arrived in the city when he was mugged outside their building, he sported a minor knife wound to the abdomen.
They relay a story to their friends and acquaintances that becomes legendary over time: their encounter with a young black stranger who came stumbling upon their front door one evening as they were courting Geoffrey Miller (Sir Ian McKellen), an important investor who could make them wealthy beyond their dreams. Their prized possession is a double-sided Kandinsky: one side represents control the other, chaos. New Yorkers Louisa "Ouisa" Kittredge (Stockard Channing) and John Flanders "Flan" Kittredge (Donald Sutherland) are upper-class private art dealers, pretentious, but compassionate.
