Why is Sidney poitier important?
Sidney Poitier is primarily famous for being one of the first of few African American men to have significant leading roles in films. Most of the films that he is known for doing involved story-lines that approached the problem of racial tension in America's society. For example "No Way Out" (1950), starred him as a black doctor who had to provide service to a white bigot; "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" (1967) in which he played a black man who was engaged with a white woman and how meeting her family went; and "In the Heat of the Night" (1967) in which he played a black detective that had to investigate a murder in a racist southern town. Other than these movies, he also was involved with creating a series of classic blaxploitation films that co-starred he and Bill Cosby throughout the 1970s ("Uptown Saturday Night," "A Piece of the Action," "Let's Do It Again"). Another blaxploitation film that he made in the seventies that I believe is highly underrated is "Buck and the Preacher," which starred not only Poitier, but Ruby Dee and Harry Belafonte. I think that this movie is ground breaking because it's one of the few movies that exist that tell an "Old West" story from the perspective of black characters. In general, Poitier should be credited with breaking down racial barriers in Hollywood cinema based on these different roles he's played.

Why did Robert mitchum not want to work with Sidney poitier in the movie defiant ones?
Short answer: He did not refuse to work with Poitier. According to Lee Server's fine biography of Mitchum, it was the movie's premise that Mitchum had a problem with, saying that no black man and white man would ever have been chained up together in that part of the country. Mitchum had some experience in that matter, having been arrested for vagrancy in the South when he was a teen, and being sent to work on a chain gang. Because of people like Tony Curtis, who never let facts get in the way of a good tale, a false story painting Mitchum as racist has been circulating for many years.
